Houston Chamber Choir joins forces with Jason Max Ferdinand, Barnaby Smith, Voces8, and Voces US Scholars for a special event.

Shall we Gather?

St. Luke's United Methodist Church

If you ask who the hot choral conductor in the world is right now, nine out of ten people will say, “Jason Max Ferdinand.”  Fresh from acclaimed performances at the BBC Proms in London and with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, we are lucky to have him work his magic with the Houston Chamber Choir. 

Fresh from acclaimed performances at the BBC Proms in London and with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, Ferdinand will work his magic with the Houston Chamber Choir, as he presents a repertoire primarily, but not entirely, of beautiful concert arrangements of American Spirituals, interspersed with other tunes that resonate with the overall theme, "What Have We Done Today?

The Houston Chamber Choir’s Hear the Future Master Classes and Concert is one of our most important initiatives and provides those who love the art form an opportunity to enjoy choral music at its finest, all in one sublimely beautiful acoustic.

A century ago, the cornerstone was laid to the Villa de Matel, one of Houston’s architectural treasures.  The occupants of the Villa, the Sisters of Charity, also one of Houston’s treasures, represent all corners of the world, and they have long been interwoven in the tapestry of Houston life.  The Chamber Choir is joined by the Treble Choir of Houston and Houston Bronze Ensemble in a celebration of Christmas at the Villa through carols that represent the Sisters' countries of origin. Only subscription holders are guaranteed a seat for these sell-out concerts.

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!

Inspired by the legend of The Firebird—a magical glowing bird from Slavic folklore—Stravinsky’s Firebird dazzles from first note to heart-pounding finale. It’s the music that made Stravinsky an overnight star, putting the world on notice that a genius had arrived. Soprano Angel Blue makes her Houston Symphony debut in Florent Schmitt’s beyond-epic Psalm 47, and a Julia Wolfe world premiere kicks off this celebratory, season-opening program.

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.

For many, there is no better pop music than that created in the ‘70s.

The Houston Chamber Choir will take you through the decade with music by Roberta Flack, the Bee Gees, Carly Simon, ABBA, the Jackson 5, and many others. Come rock and roll and sing along at this free concert at beautiful Miller Outdoor Theatre.

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

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

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!
