VOICES of Fort Worth “Where It All Began” Concert - Weatherford, TX

Chandor Gardens Foundation is excited to present VOICES of Fort Worth’s "Where It All Began!" a cappella choral concert on April 11, 2026, at All Saints’ Church, 121 South Waco Street, Weatherford, TX at 3:00 PM. Doors will open for seating at 2:45 PM.

Ticket holders are invited to enjoy a pre-concert reception with "English Tea" style refreshments in Barlow Hall, located beside the church, starting at 2:00 PM.

VOICES of Fort Worth is a premier a cappella choral ensemble with 21 vocalists known for their exceptional vocal harmonies and moving performances. Under the direction of Dr. Jerome M. Bierschenk, the group has captivated audiences for 14 years with their rich sound and artistic expression.

The concert program will feature Dr. Bierschenk's favorite songs from VOICES of Fort Worth's repertoire. In honor of America's 250th Birthday, the group will perform the iconic patriotic song "America the Beautiful."

Chandor Gardens Foundation extends its gratitude to All Saints’ Church for allowing us to host this special concert in their historic church, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2026.

The connection between All Saints’ Church and Chandor Gardens is significant, as Douglas & Ina Chandor were members of the church, with their wedding and funeral services held there.

A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Dr. Jerome M. Bierschenk has been a music educator in Texas for over 45 years.

After earning a Bachelor's degree in music education, Dr. Bierschenk started a teaching career in instrumental music education and was a band director for 20 years. He taught in the Austin, Birdville, and Weatherford school districts, and in Weatherford where he was the Director of Bands as well as the Coordinator of Music for the district.

Bierschenk’s interest began to include voice and choral conducting, and after earning a Master's of music education and a Doctorate of musical arts in choral conducting from the University of North Texas, he began his tenure as Artistic Director of the Texas Boys Choir and as the Director of Fine Arts for the Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts.

With both extensive experience as a tenor soloist and as a trumpet player, he has performed solo tenor roles with Schola Cantorum of Fort Worth, the University of North Texas Choirs, as well as various other groups in the Fort Worth community.

In 2021, he retired after serving as the chair of the Department of Music and Director of Choral Activities at Texas Wesleyan University.
