The Chorus performs a widely varied repertoire regularly throughout the Houston Area in its regular concert season and special concerts such as the Veteran’s Day concert and the 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 on all their regular concerts. The chorus has collaborated with many noted choral conductors and musicians, including Alice Parker, Weston Noble, Nick Page, Barbara Johnson Tucker and Dr. Barbara Wesley Baker.
