Singing and making melody with our hearts to the Lord! - Ephesians 5:19
Hearts in Harmony, a duet based in the DFW Metroplex, was formed in late October 2023. Myra and Sharon believe God brought them together and they were delighted to learn things which God already knew they shared in common. Both ladies developed a love for music at an early age, and with much anticipation can hardly wait to see how God uses them to minister to others. In addition to singing as a duet, both ladies have an active solo ministry.
Hearts in Harmony sings various genres of music including Southern Gospel, Country Gospel, Bluegrass Gospel, Contemporary Praise & Worship, as well as the old traditional hymns which we all love. They bring energy and dedication to every engagement, are profoundly serious about their music ministry, and would be honored to come and minister in song at your church services, dedicated events, fundraisers, weddings, or funerals. So why not schedule them today?
BIOGRAPHIES
Myra Riggs
A native Texan born in Paris, Myra developed a love for music at age 10 when first introduced to the song "My Favorite Things" during music class. The song's vivid lyrics and the melodious rise and fall of the notes captivated her heart and she was hooked. Looking back now, she believes this could have been prophetic as music did become one of her very favorite things in life. Myra's first solo came at age 11 and during her school years, she sang in mixed choir but soon promoted to an all-girl concert ensemble. In her high school years, Myra initially sang in mixed choir, but soon was invited to audition for the a Capella choir where she gained entrance, which eventually led to UIL competition experience.
Myra received Jesus into her heart in 1995, and since that time she has ministered the Gospel with every opportunity to do so.
