Under the baton of Ann Lee, the Montgomery County Choral Society kicks off its 2016-2017 season celebrating 45 years of bringing some of the world’s greatest music to the Conroe area. A mix of familiar and newer works has become a hallmark of Choral Society concerts, and this celebratory season will not disappoint.

The season opens on Tuesday, Sept. 27, with the return of the ever-popular, annual Dinner/Showtime. A Disney Spectacular, Part 2 headlines the festive evening. “We’re pulling out all the stops in this very special family/child-friendly evening,” said Lee, the Choral Society’s artistic director. Darrel’s Catering will serve up the local fare of barbecue and smoked turkey, in addition to a children’s menu. Pianist Joseph M. Martin returns to headline the concert. His wife, Sue, a talented singer in her own right, is set to join him onstage. Both performers bring the “Disney” experience to the stage having performed at Disneyland and Disney World early in their musical careers. The choir will offer all musical and movie music produced by Disney from Beauty and the Beast to The Lion King. An audience singalong and surprises for the children are planned.

All concerts are held at First United Methodist Church, 4308 W. Davis St., Conroe, Texas 77301.

This season is supported by funds from the City of Conroe Council on Arts and Culture and ExxonMobil.
