Now in its 16th year, the Texas Children’s Choir is a San Antonio community based choir comprised of 56 boys and girls aged 8-18, selected and trained to perform service for the local, state, and national community. They provide music for 10-15 ceremonies, conventions, and other events by civic, military command, educational, and charitable organizations each performing season. The choir’s long history of quality choral music and service to the community has been cited in the Congressional records of the US and Texas Houses of Representatives. The quality of the choir’s music has been recognized throughout the country, having been selected by the Texas Music Educators Association to sing as honor choir at its annual convention, by an invitation to be featured with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on its weekly television broadcast of “Music and the Spoken Word”, and being invited to provide the music for the Presidents of the United States and France at White House ceremonies at Omaha Beach, Normandy, France for the 60th anniversary of D-Day. They were invited on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of D-Day, to sing the closing concert at the annual Ceremony of Peace for all of Europe, at the town of Sainte-Marie-Eglise, and a concert at Omaha Beach, both in Normandy, France.
