The choir has performed at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York City with members of the New York Symphony Orchestra. They have also performed with the Knoxville Symphony Chamber Orchestra.
Performances by the choir were featured on TV station WFXR in December 2019 and have been seen in feature stories on WDBJ and WSLS. Mrs. Cynthia Jackson is the choir’s director. For more information about the WCC Choir, visit www.wcc.vccs.edu/wcc-choir.
