In 2008, Suzannah and her singing partner, Nathan Morrison, began the Wild Asheville Community Chorus as a fun home town project. It started with twelve friends singing in their living room and has since grown to 100 singers per season. They co-led WACC through 2017, when Nathan moved on to other projects.
