    Houston Chamber Choir


    Comment on Facebook

    The Houston Chamber Choir is a professional ensemble dedicated to increasing the awareness, appreciation and esteem of choral music and musicians through performance, outreach and education.

    Described by Peter Phillips, founder of the Tallis Scholars, as “one of this country’s leading ensembles,” the Houston Chamber Choir was founded in 1995 by Artistic Director Robert Simpson. The flexibility and artistry of the 24-28 musicians of the Houston Chamber Choir has enabled it to bring Houston audiences concerts as diverse as our city’s first period instrument performance of Bach’s B minor mass, and an evening of choral jazz with the legendary Dave Brubeck and his quartet.

    David Ashley White, Director of the University of Houston’s Moores School of Music, credits the Chamber Choir’s performance of the B minor mass with “setting a new standard in terms of how choral/orchestral music from the Baroque era should be performed in Houston.”

    The Chamber Choir is characterized by Bob Chilcott, noted conductor, composer and former member of The Kings Singers, as, “an elegant choir with faultless intonation.”
