    TOWNVIEW CHOIR PRESENTS

    Townview Choir presents their first virtual project of the year, edited with new software provided by the Visual & Performing Arts Dept - Introducing an exuberant African-style original piece, Kuimba (which means “Singing” in Swahili), by Victor C. Johnson, a Black composer and arranger, who attended Dallas ISD schools from Kindergarten through 12th Grade. He went to Greiner and is a proud graduate of Booker T. Washington. Johnson’s prolific works include over 350 choral works, vocal solo books, and keyboard collections currently in print. Come on - Put a little spring in your steps, we hope you enjoy it.
