WHARTON — The Wharton County Junior College Choir will celebrate the 250th anniversary of America for its concert, “American Tapestry: A Choral Journey.” The performance is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 17, at the Horton Foote Theatre in the Duson-Hansen Fine Arts Building on the Wharton campus.
It’s free of admission and open to the public.
The concert will feature patriotic classics, including “When the Saints Go Marching In,” “Riverside,” “Shenandoah,” a modern arrangement of “Old
