2023 John Archie Sanders Festival of Hymns

2023 John Archie Sanders Festival of Hymns

Dallas Metroplex Musicians' Association
is proud to remember and honor the memory of
Mrs. John Archie Sanders

The Dallas Metroplex Musicians' Association is proud to kick off its 2023-2024 season with our annual John Archie Sanders Festival of Hymns on Sunday, November 12, 2023, at 4:00 PM at First Christian Methodist Evangelistic Church (First CME Church). Come out and share in the fellowship of popular hymns with local choristers and congregants. The evening promises to be a highlight of the year.

The late John Archie Sanders possessed one of the most versatile musical instruments: her voice. She was sought after by churches, professional choruses, and organizations for her splendid vocal interpretation of the printed score and her deep heartfelt delivery of Christian music, particularly the hymn. For more than sixty years, she served in Dallas as a soloist in the St. John Missionary Baptist Church choir, and later at the Antioch Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church. Mrs. Sanders was a longtime participant in the Dallas Metroplex Musicians’ Associations’ (DMMA's) Sacred Choral Music Workshop (now the William S. Mitchell Sacred Choral Music Workshop) and performed a leading role in the recorded musical production of "Showboat," starring the late Eartha Kitt.
