BREVARD — The Maryland State Boychoir recently sang at Masses at Sacred Heart Church in Brevard (pictured) and at St. Eugene Church in Asheville.
Founded in Baltimore in 1987, the choir began with 14 boys and a mission to create an organization offering boys from all backgrounds a foundation in music with the belief that this can shape a person’s character.
Since then, membership has increased dramatically, with the most advanced students selected to participate in the Tour Choir. The Tour Choir, which travels twice a year, has been to 30 states and 12 countries.
