Description

The Texas Boys Choir is excited to present a Spring Concert titled Crown Jewels & Cracker Jacks! The first half of the concert will feature choral gems from the British tradition. On this night before Charles III is crowned King of England, TBC will be joined by British organist, Clive Driskill-Smith, in performing famous English anthems by Thomas Tallis, William Byrd,  and Henry Purcell that will culminate in the famous Coronation Anthem by George Frederick Handel, "Zadok the Priest". The second half of the concert will focus on a favorite American pastime... Baseball!  The boys will sing a wide variety of entertaining American music, including the premiere of a newly commissioned piece by Fort Worth composer, Mark Burrows, titled "Who's on First?"  As if that wasn't enough reason to attend, audience members can purchase stadium food during the ballgame and WFAA News Anchor Marc Istook will serve as the emcee. There is truly something for everyone at this concert!  (Fascinators or Baseball Caps are welcome)
