​Musical Leadership

Don Schlosser
Artistic Director

​Nashville in Harmony is the most rewarding adventure Don has ever experienced. After a career in the music ministry and the music publishing industry, he is so grateful to have the opportunity to partner with this passionate group of singers in embracing the challenge to excel musically and to make a dynamic difference in the community in which they live. Professional training at the collegiate and graduate levels, and years of experience conducting choirs across the US and abroad, have now come to fruition in the invitation to conduct this unique family of volunteer musicians from all across Music City. NiH members often hear him say, “Let’s stand; let’s sing; let’s change the world.” He believes those three challenges embody who we are:

To stand together, shoulder to shoulder, modeling the colorful diversity of our community;

To sing out a cry for justice with the highest degree of artistry we can attain; and

To partner with those who share our mission to make an impact on our community.
