MUSIC

The internationally acclaimed Houston Chamber Choir presents its 15th concert season. Hailed as one of the country’s leading choirs, the Houston Chamber Choir is an ensemble of 28 highly trained professional singers whose touching and engrossing performances entertain audiences around the world.

Artistic Director Robert Simpson founded the Houston Chamber Choir in 1995 with the goal of increasing the awareness and appreciation of choral music. Each year audiences eagerly anticipate the group’s delightful performances, and this season is no different.

Houston Chamber Choir gives voice to the beauty of the holiday season with Hallelujah! Handel and Vivaldi at Christmas. For the first time in six years Houston Chamber Choir will perform the Christmas portion of George Frideric Handel’s Messiah and the well-loved Gloria by Antonio Vivaldi.

Antonio Vivaldi’s “Gloria” and the Christmas portion of George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah” make for a splendid holiday treat. We added the “Christmas Concerto” by Arcangelo Corelli to create a truly stirring – and stellar – occasion. Don’t miss Houston Chamber Choir’s first performance of these master works in six years.

This one-night only performance is on Saturday, December 4, 2010 at 7:30PM at The Church of St. John the Divine, 2450 River Oaks Boulevard, Houston, 77019.
