休士頓台聲合唱團是一九七零年由第一代台灣留學生组成，其目的是陶冶心神、增進音樂修養及啟發民族意識。唱唱笑笑走走停停到了一九七四年，又有一群愛唱歌的台灣留學生組了合唱團名為「虹聲合唱團」，八零年代後來陸續來休士頓的台灣同鄉再組合唱團，巧合又名為台聲。
這個以台灣同鄉會為主軸的社團，歷年來在同鄉會的年會夏令會以及各活動中，以鄉音鄉曲傳鄉情，以歌聲傳播台灣文化與精神，近半世紀來一路走來始终如一。一九九二年台灣人活動中心成立之後，有莊伯祥醫師及盧文雄醫師捐贈鋼琴，讓台聲有固定教室練習，以致台聲年年舉辦了成功的音樂會達十多次。
除了發揚台灣文化，台聲在慈善工作亦不落人後，募款協助台灣鄉訊的發行及幫助玻利维亞流浪兒童的保護，還有為癌症病人獻唱，拜訪老人院，甚至華航從休士頓首航，台聲也迄臨機場助興演唱。
現在台聲己發展成全方位的合唱團，每次音樂會都甚獲好評。歡迎對唱歌有興趣的朋友加入我們的大家庭。
