The Appalachian Equality Chorus was formed in 2012 with the mission to use our voices, strengths, and individual gifts to create enriching musical experiences that promote inclusion, equality, and empathy for the LGBTQ+ community. Our goal is to end hostility toward minority populations and better our world through community partnerships.  This season, the Chorus takes the stage with more than 150 voices under the direction of Dr. Alan Stevens, with Dr. Lindsey Cope as Assistant Director and Bleu Copas as Executive Director. Together, they create a sound as rich and varied as the community they represent. Founded in 2012, the Appalachian Equality Chorus has grown into one of the largest and most dynamic LGBTQ+ and allied choruses in the State of Tennessee.
