46th Season - Flights of Fancy |
|
The Bay Area Chorus of Greater Houston is pleased to announce its upcoming Veteran's Day Concert Series. Please see the sidebar for venue and guest choir information. Tickets are $10 in advance; at the door, tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students or seniors 65+. Advance tickets may be purchased online at www.bayareachorus.org or from any member.
During this star-spangled salute to active members and veterans of the Armed Forces, each branch of the service will be recognized. The audience will be invited to express their personal patriotism by participating in audience sing-a-longs, a vital part of these evenings of tribute and remembrance.
The Bay Area Women's Chorus will take a nostalgic journey to pre-World War II times, performing classics such as "Over the Rainbow" and "Night and Day". The Mixed Chorus will sing songs of faith, including "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" and "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" in honor of the service and sacrifice of our nation's heroes.
Now in its 46th Season, The Bay Area Chorus has grown to be a Houston-area choral institution. Under the direction of Keith Dixon, the chorus has expanded to include a Women's Chorus, in addition to the Mixed Chorus. In addition to performing varied programs of classical and multicultural music as well as songs from the American folk, gospel and spiritual traditions, the chorus presents a 4-concert holiday series in December and often programs special events such as the Feb. 7 Major Works Concert with Orchestra. Additionally, The Bay Area Chorus takes an active role in music education through its concert outreach; inviting area schools to perform an all their regular concerts. The chorus has collaborated with many noted choral conductors and musicians, including Alice Parker, Weston Noble, Nick Page, Dr. Barbara Wesley Baker and Barbara Johnson Tucker.
