A Season of Remarkable Milestones
The season opens with noteworthy recognition as Tempus performs at the North Carolina American Choral Directors Association (NC ACDA) Conference in Asheville this October.
The invitation is a significant honor, placing Tempus among a select group of ensembles chosen to perform for one of the most respected gatherings of choral conductors, educators, and composers. The honor reflects both the artistic excellence of the ensemble and the strength of Asheville's vibrant choral community.

Coming Together Across Communities
The full, 130-voice strong Asheville Choral Society launches its concert season with a multi-generational collaboration with the Asheville Waldorf Singers, the student choir from the Asheville Waldorf School.
On November 7, the chorus and children’s choir will present John Rutter's Mass of the Children in a partnership that brings WNC singers of all ages together.
The collaboration offers audiences the opportunity to experience one of choral repertoire's most moving contemporary works while showcasing the remarkable artistry that emerges when performing arts organizations and strong school arts programs come together.
