Dresden, Tenn.–Sometimes a small idea becomes a very big thing, and that is certainly the case with the David Johnson Chorus, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. “It began as a group of my former Dresden High School chorus students, getting together to sing one concert. That’s all, just one concert,” said Director David Johnson.
The Chorus will be celebrating its anniversary at the very place the group’s first rehearsal was held–at Dresden High School Little Theater. The concert will be at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 28. Admission is $10 for adults; children and students are free.

Th Chorus has performed 250+ concerts since the beginning. Over those twenty years the chorus has traversed west Tennessee, the entire state, and the United States carrying their special style of singing that moves audiences into describing the experience as “magic.”
The Chorus was recognized on the world stage during the World Choir Games and has received special recognition from the Tennessee House of Representatives.
