Enriching Lives Through Choral Music
One goal of BAC is to provide educational outreach to the community by granting scholarships. BAC offers three scholarships for local senior high school choral students who plan to pursue an undergraduate degree in vocal music education or performance and one for graduate music students at University of Houston.
We urge all qualified applicants to apply. 2023 applications - TBD
Meet the Director
Milton Pullen
If you love music and don’t know Milton Pullen, you are missing out! He directed award-winning high school choral programs for 24 years, mostly in CCISD, was BAC’s artistic director 1970-1975, and conducted the Clear Lake Symphony 1978-1979. A native Texan, his music education and conducting degrees are from Texas A&M Univ., Kingsville, and the Univ. of Houston. Mr. Pullen was associate professor of music at Abilene Christian Univ. for 6 years and became professor of music and director of choirs at Pepperdine Univ., Malibu, in 1995... but could not stay away from Texas. He has been artistic director of BAC since 2014.
Mr. Pullen’s choirs have performed for the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA), the California Music Educators Association, and the National Convention of the American Choral Directors Association. He is an adjudicator and clinician for choirs throughout Texas, a former state vocal chairman and past TMEA president, and has received the Texas Denius-UIL Sponsor Excellence Award in choral music (1993), the Howard A. White Excellence in Teaching Award (Pepperdine, 2005), and the Texas Choral Directors’ Associate Texas Choirmaster Award (2010). After 57 years of teaching, he recently decided it was time to hang up his conducting baton.
This unique and talented man will serve his final year as BAC's artistic director in 2022-2023. Join us throughout the next year as we celebrate Mr. Pullen’s lasting legacy.
