TCC Strategic Plan
In bringing TCC's special combination of excellence and fun in music to the management of the organization as a whole, we started in 2010 development of a strategic plan. The TCC board of directors wishes to thank all those who participated in what will be our next step in providing a classical choral music experience for the singers and audience of Austin.
Who we are
The Texas Choral Consort (TCC) is dedicated to providing a high-quality classical choral musical experience to our singers and our audience. What that means is that we provide more than just a concert, we invite singers to come and join our symposium chorus free of the stresses of audition. While we are a group of great friends that enjoy singing together, we also have a top-notch organization that develops a quality concert series with the best of traditional and contemporary classical music that allows us all to get the enriched experience of practicing it to the performance level, and then actually singing it in concert along with the ever-amazing TCC orchestra. We encourage music afficionados of all walks to join our chorus. If you are qualified to sit in our audience, you are qualified to sit in our symposium.
In addition, TCC has a smaller auditioned chorus that performs other works at other times of the year. Singers are encouraged to sign up for an individual audition (it isn't as scary as it sounds) and gain yet more musical enrichment.

A note from our Artistic Director, Brent Baldwin: I am really getting excited for our upcoming concert. With each day I spend on score study, the more I am reminded of just how breathtaking the music is going to be. The repertoire includes:

Argentina 2011
One of Texas Choral Consort's most fulfilling adventures is our international trips. Past trips have included fabulous concerts in Ireland, Germany, and most recently a performance in the historic and beautiful Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff, Wales. We joined the local Landaff Cathedral Chorus as well as a 30-piece orchestra also from Cardiff to perform Mozart's Requiem as half of the performance, and then TCC sang independently a mixed selection of music, including traditional American tunes, for the enjoyment of our Welsh hosts.
For 2011, TCC will travel to Buenos Aires, Argentina. We join the Bel Canto Chorus of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, under the baton of Mr. Richard Hynson, as well as a local orchestra to present Mozart's Requiem and a selection of acapella works.
As much as TCC is about classical choral music, our trips are not all about work. The presence of four performances and three rehearsals in our schedule leaves ample time for planned local tours and a paid excursion for the entire choir on an off day. Click Here to check out our itenerary. Non-singers are welcome, and will not be alone on our international trips. We regularly have spouses and friends of our chorus members join us on international trips, for no additional cost than one of our singers.
If you want to join us, or just to obtain more information, please Email Us or phone 512-372-3233 to get more information. Just ask about Argentina 2011. We hope to have you with us.
