Mission Statement
Invoking the beauty of the human voice, Portara Ensemble uses choral music as the gateway to elevate and inspire audiences through the transformative power of artistic collaboration. Portara Ensemble, as its main goal, aims to educate and enrich the Middle Tennessee area in the choral arts, with a focus on bringing new choral works to Nashville alongside collaborations with partners from other cultural and artistic disciplines. Not only does Portara aim to educate our audiences about choral music and its connection to the larger world, but we also offer a broad education in choral singing to the members of the ensemble. The singers in the ensemble are made up of a combination of students, amateur adults, and professionals, and their participation in the group allows them to refine their musical skills while sharing their talents with the Middle Tennessee community.
