Newport Sings (formerly known as The Choral Collective of Newport County) was established as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in August 2019. ​ The mission of Newport Sings is to provide opportunities for youth and adults to discover the JOY and POWER of singing in community with others. ​

The Choral Collective of Newport County has relaunched as “Newport Sings”.

“Our mission and programs are the same; we just changed the name to better reflect us and the work we are doing,” the organization said in a press release.

The change follows a successful marketing grant through Skills for Rhode Island’s Future program that was used by the board to develop a new logo and marketing approach.

“We were matched with Tricia White and Kerry Aglugub who helped us navigate this digital process. We launched our new website last week, showcasing our new colors, logo designs and content to allow for easier access to information as well as an ability to be found easily online,” the organization said.
