recording that simply

writing as well as
timeless classics. The

renowned University of
North Texas A Cappella
Choir and the Texas
Choral Artists, a
professional chamber
choir based in Dallas.

A Cappella Choir has
enjoyed a rich
performance history,
including a U.S. State
Department sponsored tour
of Europe, featured
performances for numerous
prestigious professional
conventions, and
participation in numerous
world premiers of
significant works for
chorus. Dr. Jerry McCoy
is conductor of the North
Texas Chamber Choir, the
Texas Choral Artists and
the UNT A Cappella Choir.
Performances given by his
choirs have drawn
consistent praise for the
beauty of their
“satin-finished
tone†and their
expressive range. He is

American Choral Directors
Association.
