We use choral music to elevate and inspire audiences through the transformative power of artistic collaboration and community engagement.

 

Portara Ensemble is a 32-voice chamber choir that has established itself as a creative force in the Middle Tennessee music scene. Our innovative programming and artistic collaborations have crossed the boundaries of the visual and performing arts, and our community partnerships have had a direct impact on the mission and visibility of Nashville’s non-profit community. Led by Artistic Director Jason Shelton, Portara Ensemble’s thought-provoking thematic choral programs explore a wide variety of music from around the globe, and the Ensemble can often be found playing a supportive role in a local recording studio or in the national TV spotlight.
