Upcoming Events and Performances
The Fort Bend Texas Boys
Choir - Friday, June 14, 7:30 pm
The Jansen Art Center is proud to present
The Fort Bend Texas Boys Choir. The choir was organized to give
boys with special musical abilities and interests an opportunity to
perform more challenging choral literature from classical
selections to folk music. The group combines the freshness and
enthusiasm of childhood with artistic maturity, something that can
only be achieved through serious work. Boyish energy is channeled
into dedication to excel, team effort and hard work. For other
children, the boys serve as models
of purposeful work and high achievement.
Admission is $10 for adults $5 for children ages 12 and under
- purchase tickets here.
