Silver Serenaders perfom in Waxahachie

The Silver Serenaders of Texas kick off their 40th Anniversary Season with a 6 p.m. concert Sunday, Feb. 6. The concert performance will be held at First Baptist Church, 450 E. Highway 287 in Waxahachie. For more information, visit silverserenaders.org or call 214-668-9843.

Chett Haynes, the Artistic Director of the Silver Serenaders since 2011, says the group is eager to start performing for their audiences again. Everyone is especially enthusiastic to return to the stage after several years-absence caused by the pandemic, he said.

The Silver Serenaders were founded by James F. and Betty Palmer in 1981 as the Sunset Serenaders Senior Adult Choir at Cliff Temple Baptist Church in Dallas. The group’s name was changed to Silver Serenaders of Texas in 1996. Choir members are dedicated volunteers who love to sing and perform together.
