Welcome!

The Tree of Life Cultural Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports the furthering of humanity through body, mind, and spirit. It empowers individuals to become more enriched and well-rounded human beings. Through our efforts together, Western North Carolina will not lack the knowledge and training that makes creative minds, and a diverse community that works together in unity.

Youth Choral League

Join a team—not of baseball or soccer players—but of enthusiastic kids who love to sing and are excited to learn music! Each practice day has two parts: most of the time is spent singing together, and the rest is for learning how to read music and understand basic music theory. Kids will take part in fun "challenges" with their own team and compete with other teams—just like a game! There will be winners, making it a fun and motivating way to learn and practice throughout the week. Through commitment and teamwork, kids will grow musically and gain skills that will last a lifetime.


Tree of Life is a proud sponsor this great opportunity!

The Rutherford County Orchestra League is designed for beginning-level violin, viola, and cello players to practice together in a small group setting. Each group will be divided by age range. Teamwork and unity is what makes each team successful. Outreach is part of our mission, with each team having  the opportunity to play at various locations throughout the community. This is a year-round program; with fall, spring , and summer sessions offered. 


Come join a creative team that is molding a hopeful future for our community, and beyond!
