    Bayou City Performing Arts (BCPA) was founded as the Montrose Singers, Inc. in November of 1979. Led by founding director Andy Mills, the Houston based men's chorus met with early successes marked by lavish productions at the Tower Theatre, performing with as many as 80 singing members.

    Recently the organization has expanded to include the Gay Men's Chorus of Houston (GMCH), the Bayou City Women's Chorus (BCWC), Bayou City Chorale (BCC), and Bayou Rhythms.

    All choruses now operate under the same corporate organization and umbrella name: Bayou City Performing Arts.

    BCPA's 30 seasons of continuous activity have been distinguished by innumerable performance accomplishments.

    Recent successes of the Bayou City Performing Arts have been widely credited to the appointment of James Knapp, as Artistic Director in 2001. Under his exceptional leadership, the men's chorus has grown to more than 100 members.

    James is also the founding director of the 50 voice Bayou City Women's Chorus, and the Bayou City Chorale mixed chorus.

    Having served as Artistic Director for his first four years, James accepted additional responsibilities in his appointment in 2005 to full-time Artistic and Managing Director.

      Review posted by: Disappointed Patron from Houston, TX, Dec 15, 2010

      I have attended these holiday programs for years. This was the WORST one I have ever been to and would sincerely like a refund. In the past, the shows were comical, fun, and uplifting. This year,... Expand
