Introduction to MECCA PDF Print E-mail
Since 1987, the East Tennessee Children's Choir has provided the children of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia with a unique music and cultural educational experience.  In 2005 the ETCC board of directors moved to increase the organization's outreach with the formation of the Mountain Empire Children's Choral Academy.

The ETCC was chartered 20 years ago as a non-profit organization in Tennessee by Dr. Carl King, a professor at East Tennessee State University.  In 2003, the ETCC spun off a senior high school-age choir, the Highlands Youth Ensemble, under the direction of former Artistic Director, Beth P. McCoy. Current Artistic Director, Jane DeLoach Morison, started Da Capo for select middle school members of ETCC, and Valerie Pickard conducts the newly formed Chorister Choir for children in grades 1-3.  MECCA brings all of these choirs under one umbrella for a joint artistic vision and fund-raising effort.
