From Our Director, LuAnn Holden

The Singing Girls of Texas will be presenting a concert at The First Baptist Church, downtown Chattanooga on Friday, January 20 at 7:00 pm. The concert will include a variety of literature ranging from the classics, spirituals, and patriotic celebrations, to a medley of Broadway music. You will not want to miss this new and very exciting ensemble. The concert is free and open to the public.

The Singing Girls of Texas is an ensemble consisting of girls from grades 8 through 12 at the Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts. They are creating a reputation across Texas and the United States with their outstanding vocal blend, variety of repertoire, passion for music, and excellent presentation. They are led by their artistic director, Mark L. Stamper. For more information, please visit the choir's website at www.thesgt.org.
