Bach's Christmas Oratorio

Hobby Center for the Performing Arts

We look to our friends from the animal kingdom for this wonderful concert that opens with a rousing spiritual arrangement of “De Animals a-Comin”, performed by the Men’s Ensemble from South Main Baptist Church followed swiftly by Britten’s sublime “Rejoice in the Lamb.”  Kevin Puts’ beautiful “If I Were a Swan” is then paired with R. Murray Shafer’s “Medieval Bestiary,” a clever setting of 12th-century texts that attempt to draw connections between the characteristics of God and various animals, real and imagined. 

We look forward to offering the world premiere of the first installment of Houston Seasons — Autumn by Houston composer, Daniel Knaggs, and Houston poet, Devondra Banks Brown.  We close with a romp, “A Place in the Choir.” 

This is one of those concerts where there is truly something for everyone!

All God's Creatures

South Main Baptist Church

A part of the Tower Art Series. Performance will take place at Highland Park United Methodist Church.

All God’s Creatures

Highland Park United Methodist Church

Rivals, competitors, and also friends and neighbors, the Mozart and Haydn families were inextricably linked.  Mozart’s Requiem, the centerpiece of this program, is, of course, mired in intrigue and mystery. Mozart died before completing the piece, and, at his widow’s request, former students worked on a completion. 

The first performance, a benefit concert to help Mozart’s family, was given in the small Jahn-Sall, a room attached to a restaurant in Vienna. The first liturgical performance was given in a similarly modest space. 

Our performance, with small choir and orchestra, will mirror those early performances. We are joined by our friends from the Houston Symphony for this special evening.

Mozart Requiem

St. Luke's United Methodist Church

We are so grateful for the wonderful care our friends in the Houston medical community offer, and we look forward to honoring those who provide it.  Featuring Eric Whitacre’s searing, heart-wrenching Sacred Veil, the concert will close as we join forces with The Methodist Hospital Singers for the world premiere of J. Todd Frazier’s Matthew 25.

The Sacred Veil

Vivaldi's Voices

You hear the full  Houston Chamber Choir  in concerts of serious, sublimely-beautiful choral music, but have you heard them sing pop music and show tunes as soloists and in small groups?  We will be joined by friends from the Houston community — people you know who may or may not surprise you with their vocal talents!
