The Highlands Youth Ensemble, a choir of the Mountain Empire Children's Choral Academy, is a group of fantastic and talented singers who represent a large geographic area throughout east Tennessee and southwest Virginia. These young high school students prioritize musical excellence and performance, and they are preparing for a musical revue and auction in February 2024. This year, they will present two performances of their show, "Le Cafe Cabaret," one on the beautiful campus of Milligan University in east TN and the other in the historic Barter Theatre in Abingdon, VA.  

In conjunction with the show, we will hold an online auction that will kick-off during the weekend of the performances, running from February 4-8, 2024. This annual show and auction is the primary fundraising event for the Mountain Empire Children’s Choral Academy, and it benefits all choirs in the organization.

We are asking your business to consider supporting MECCA and the Highlands Youth Ensemble by donating goods and services that our patrons will love and be excited to bid on during the auction! We will include your business logo, a brief description of your business, and a link to your website in the listing for the auction, which we hope will encourage our patrons to give you additional business. Your business will also be listed in the program that will be distributed at the shows, and it may be featured on our social media pages and acknowledged in remarks made at the event.
