The Bastrop Honor Choir is more than 15 years old, and is dedicated to healing the human spirit through music, empathy, and community. The members of the choir have all been selected, not for their vocal talent, but because they individually display a high level of empathy and human understanding. Just as do Rotarians, these young people have a heart for service, specifically to support and encourage abused children.
The choir uses the “power of music to heal a broken spirit - we sing for the children who have no voice, who have no choice. We honor them and those who help them by sharing our energy, our resources, and our song.”
Honor Choir founder and Music Director Bill Owens is also a Bastrop County Rotarian. The Bastrop Club has helped to support the choir and its mission for the last several years, thus also contributing to efforts supporting abused children through the Children’s Advocacy Center in Bastrop County.
In 2025, Bastrop County Rotarians donated $500 to the good works of the Honor Choir at the Club’s annual Holiday Social. In return, we received a wonderful “thank you’ card, and a beautiful Christmas concert.
