It was honor to say the least. Thank you Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee for having us. It was a month none of us will soon forget and opened so many hearts and minds. We can’t wait to partner with all of our new friends in the future. Music heals, music brings people together… that’s why we do what we do ❤️
We’re all still feeling the love since last weeks performance with Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee ❤️ seeing music bring so much joy is the best feeling
Portara Ensemble partnered with the Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee today in celebration of World Down Syndrome Day. We performed on the floor of the TN House of Representatives, and received a standing ovation - not a dry eye in the House! Speaker Sexton usually comes down for a photo op with groups being recognized. Today he had the entire chamber come up. We're told that's never happened before. A beautiful (if rare) moment of unity and joy in the State House. Happy World Down Syndrome Day!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays from all of us Portara Ensemble. We can’t do what we do without you and we are so grateful.
