Sound Company is a multi-age performing choir based in Oak Ridge. Comprised of children ranging from grades 1-12, Sound Company performs in Oak Ridge, Knoxville, and other areas in East Tennessee. The choir has been invited to perform at Carnegie Hall in the summer of 2017.

The group’s repertoire is wide-ranging, and includes classical, pop, show tunes, folk songs, multi-cultural music, and more, a press release said. Its members come from schools and communities all over the East Tennessee area.

Sound Company consists of four choirs: Sound Company Too, grades 1-2; Juniors, grades 3-5; Etc., grades 6-8; and the Seniors, grades 9-12. The group puts on two fully-staged productions a year, in addition to several other performances in the area. Rehearsals take place on Monday afternoons/evenings at the Historic Grove Theater.

Sound Company has performed with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, the Oak Ridge Symphony Orchestra, the Oak Ridge Civic Ballet, and the Knoxville Opera Company’s Rossini Festival. They also sang in the 100th Anniversary Titanic Memorial Tribute at the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge. The group has traveled to Switzerland to sing with its sister choir, StimmWerkBande, and has hosted the Swiss choir when it has traveled to the United States.
