Description
Since 1995, we have been providing high-level, professional choral music to the Greater Houston area, performing for thousands of community members every season.
Winner of Chorus America's 2018 Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence, the Houston Chamber Choirhas established itself as one of the premier professional choirs in the United States, serving Houston through concerts and educational initiatives that enlighten, entertain, and educate people of all ages.
Led by Artistic Director Robert Simpson, the Houston Chamber Choir has been described by The Tallis Scholars founder Peter Phillips as "one of this country’s leading ensembles." The Choir is comprised of 20 professional singers, most of whom have studied at the top music schools and conservatories in the United States including Julliard, New England Conservatory, University of Houston, and University of Texas. These musicians are selected through rigorous auditions from the finest singers in our region and are compensated for all rehearsals and performances.
