“Without music, life would be a mistake.”—FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE

About the Chorus

One of Houston’s oldest non-profit choral groups, the Bay Area Chorus has brought heartfelt performances to Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast since 1965. Long before the population of the Houston metroplex expanded to the shores of Clear Lake, this thriving choral group had already built a following among local residents and in surrounding communities.

More than 70 singers bring unique interests, ethnicity and cultural experiences to the group and represent a variety of professions as diverse as Houston itself. In addition to performing choral masterworks, this all-volunteer chorus also programs traditional holiday music, historic and contemporary classical choral music, spirituals, folk songs from around the world and Broadway favorites. Continuing growth in enrollment resulted in the formation of the Bay Area Women’s Chorus in the fall of 2009. The Women’s Chorus performs at all season concerts and had the honor of presenting a concert at the 56th Annual Convention of the Texas Choral Directors Association Convention in San Antonio in July, 2011. Recent guest artists for BAC concerts have included Dr. John Lienhard, founder of KUHF’s The Engines of Our Ingenuity, legendary composer/arranger Alice Parker, composer/song leader Nick Page and Houston gospel recording artist Barbara Johnson Tucker with pianist Phillip Hall. The Bay Area Chorus appears on the DVD Weston Noble: Perpetual Inspiration, distributed internationally by the Hal Leonard Corporation.

About the Director

As he begins his 18th year as Artistic Director, Keith Dixon holds the distinction of having the longest tenure in the 48-year history of the Bay Area Chorus. He has conducted the BAC in performances of major works by Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Durufle, Faure, Vivaldi, Schubert and Bach. Tours with the BAC have included Ireland, Scotland, England and the Yucatan Peninsula.

An active clinician for workshops, festivals and honor choirs, Keith Dixon has served on the choral faculty of the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute of Quartz Mountain since 2006. Kingwood High School Choirs under his direction have appeared in honor choir concerts at four Texas Music Educators Association state conventions and at four American Classic Madrigal Festivals and he has prepared them for performances with such notable conductors as Moses Hogan, Robert Sund, Maria Guinand and Craig Jessop. His own choral singing participation has been with the Houston Symphony Chorus, Concert Chorale of Houston and the acclaimed Robert Shaw Festival Singers, with whom he recorded the Telarc releases Amazing Grace, Evocation of the Spirit and Appear and Inspire.

Under his leadership the North Shore High School Choral program grew from thirty-five students to more than five hundred and twenty-five students winning multiple Sweepstakes each year at UIL Concert and Sight-reading Contest as well as trophies at regional and nation music competitions. In 1994 the North Shore Chorale was named “Grand Champion of Texas” in the American Classic Music Festivals and performed as a state honor choir at the 1996 Texas Music Educator Association State Convention. Mr. Harris brought this same commitment to excellence to his tenure as Director of Fine Arts as he supervises a 120 member staff in music, art, theater and dance and a budget just shy of one million dollars for the Arts education of 22,000 students. Even though every school in GPISD is a Title I campus with a population that is 70 percent economically disadvantaged and 78 percent Hispanic, GPISD Fine Arts organizations consistently out perform their more affluent suburban peers at UIL competitions. “The Arts are for everyone, not just those with the economic means to achieve according to conventional wisdom.”

Brian Worrell Music has always been a huge part of Brian Worrell’s life. He sings in addition to playing trumpet, guitar, classical guitar, and piano — he says he doesn’t play any of them well.

Brian’s other hobbies include playing pickelball, kayaking, and traveling. He and his wife recently began a mission to visit all of the National Parks as well as all seven continents. He is hoping to live past 100 in order to fit all of it in. Brian became a fan and supporter of BAC after watching several of his friends perform in the chorus. In addition, Brian works as a REALTOR with Prudential Gary Greene and also helped to redesign the BAC website.
