This fall, the Knoxville Choral Society invites you to A Festival of Sound, an evening (and afternoon) celebration of choral music spanning centuries and continents. The program draws together voices of light and voices of lament: the shimmering harmonic textures of Ērik Ešenvalds' Trinity Te Deum, the soulful, blues-inflected spirituality of Kyle Pederson's Micah Blues, the aching beauty of John Ireland's wartime elegy Greater Love Hath No Man, and the radiant, brass-lined jubilation of John Rutter's Gloria, along with additional works rounding out a program built to move, uplift, and inspire.

From ancient text set in strikingly modern harmony to contemporary music rooted in prophetic justice, from Ireland's meditation on sacrifice to Rutter's exultant finale, A Festival of Sound offers a journey through the many voices choral music can take: sorrowful, hopeful, and triumphant all at once.

Forever grateful to have experienced the light that hails throughout the Tennessee Mountains, hills, and hollers.

Dolly’s light shined so bright that it was able to circle the entire globe from the hills of Sevier County.

She supported the arts, education, and the betterment of her community and the world around her.

Thank you for loving us, Dolly.
We will always love you.

The hearts of the Knoxville Choral Society go out to Dolly’s family and friends.
