Members of the Advanced Chorus from Parker Elementary School were invited to perform at the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) conference in Dallas, March 18-22. This Title 1 magnet school in Houston Independent School District (HISD) is the only elementary school in the United States to be chosen to perform in the conference’s history. Parker’s chorus is under the direction of Marianna Parnas-Simpson, founding member of the Houston Chamber Choir. Along with elite choral groups from middle schools, high schools, colleges, and universities, the Parker group will perform in Dallas’ Winspear Opera House and Meyerson Symphony Hall. Community members can donate to help the students attend this prestigious event at www.parkerfriends.org/donate.
