Friends of the Houston BoyChoir

Houston, Texas

Cause Description:
Houston Boychoir was established by the Houston Independent School District in 1962 as The Singing Boys of Houston. After becoming an independent arts organization in 1991, today the Houston Boychoir continues to provide boys in the Houston Metropolitan area with the exciting opportunity for vocal music study and choral performance. The Choirs are regularly presented in concert throughout the city and are often featured with Houston's major performing arts organizations including Houston Grand Opera, the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the Houston Bach Society and the Houston Tidelanders. With almost 50 years of performance history, Houston Boychoir has established a reputation of artistic excellence and continues to strive towards this goal. The Choir was the first American boychoir to be invited to participate in the International Festival of Boychoirs held in Poznan, Poland and is the only American boychoir to be invited to the Alumnat of the Thommanerchor - the same boychoir once directed by Johann Sebastian Bach. In 2003, Houston Boychoir was honored to spend an afternoon at the U.S. Supreme Court, with then Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, and continues to proudly represent our city, state and nation during annual concert tours across North America and throughout Europe and Asia. Houston Boychoir provides a unique, positive, and lifelong experience that aims to contribute to each boy’s total potential. The organization consists of two choirs characterized by their corresponding skill level and commitment. Membership is open to all boys with unchanged voices, ages 8 to 14, who demonstrate willingness to learn, vocal talent and a strong level of commitment. Auditions are held annually each spring and periodically throughout the year.
