The tours are developed around performance schedules, and incorporate a close look at American or foreign history. The choir has toured Texas and fifteen other states, as well as Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Austria Mexico and this year Denmark. Town Choir Extensive choral techniques are emphasized in the Town choir. The choir mainly performs locally, however the season concludes with an out of town performance and a day of special activities. Training Choir Techniques in phrasing, enunciation and harmonizing are stressed in the Training choir.
Boys learn the disciplines of the organization and perform predominately on the local scene.
Hopefully, a boy will leave the choir with an appreciation for disciplined, concentrated effort, and an ear for the classical choral repertoire. On a more profound level, these boys discover in the marriage of music, words, and movement a spiritual dimension to their lives that might have otherwise been left unexplored. The Fort Bend Boys Choir of Texas, Inc. was founded in 1982 with 45 initial members by William R. Adams, Artistic Director of the choir. The organization has now grown into three performing ensembles with over 160 choristers. The members are selected from the local area by audition and enter either the Training, Town or Tour choir.
