The
Chorus goal is professional quality performances that complement both
the Symphony season and the quality of cultural life in Asheville and
Western North Carolina.
The Asheville Symphony Chorus was formed
as a financially independent adjunct of the Asheville Symphony
Orchestra. It continues to lend an added dimension to the concerts,
enabling the Symphony to broaden its base of support by attracting a
more diverse audience. The Chorus also strives to provide financial
support to the Orchestra.
Preparation and performance of choral
masterworks in both independent and Symphony presentations are the
mission of the Chorus, thus providing an exceptional opportunity for
talented area singers to learn under the direction of a highly skilled
and dedicated director, Dewitt Tipton.
Members pay an annual
membership fee and purchase all music for independent chorus concerts.
The Chorus also provides a vehicle for high school students to study
and perform choral music without payment of fees. In addition, many
volunteer hours are given by members serving on the Chorus Board and
committees.
