Bay Area Chorus of Greater Houston

Bay Area Chorus of Greater Houston A 120+ member community chorus under the direction of Barry Talley. One of Houston’s oldest non-profit choirs.

One of Houston’s oldest non-profit choral groups, the Bay Area Chorus has brought heartfelt performances to Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast since 1965. Long before the population of the Houston metroplex expanded to the shores of Clear Lake, this thriving choral group had already built a following among local residents and in surrounding communities. More than 100 singers bring unique interests, ethnicity and cultural experiences to the group and represent a variety of professions as diverse as Houston itself. In addition to performing choral masterworks, this all-volunteer chorus also programs traditional holiday music, historic and contemporary classical choral music, spirituals, folk songs from around the world and Broadway favorites. Continuing growth in enrollment resulted in the formation of the Bay Area Women’s Chorus in the fall of 2009. The Women’s Chorus performs at all season concerts and had the honor of presenting a concert at the 56th Annual Convention of the Texas Choral Directors Association Convention in San Antonio in July, 2011. Recent guest artists for BAC concerts have included Dr. John Lienhard, founder of KUHF’s The Engines of Our Ingenuity, legendary composer/arranger Alice Parker, composer/song leader Nick Page and Houston gospel recording artist Barbara Johnson Tucker with pianist Phillip Hall. The Bay Area Chorus appears on the DVD Weston Noble: Perpetual Inspiration, distributed internationally by the Hal Leonard Corporation.

We had the pleasure of performing "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" by Dolly Parton, arranged by Craig Hella Johnson this past May. Dolly was an incredible songwriter and humanitarian. We hope to honor her memory with beautiful performances that speak truth and optimism into the world.

See link to our performance in the comments.

We will miss you, Dolly!

Second rehearsal tonight! We are loving our fall music.
