SPIRIT MOVING OVER CHAOS Will Open Houston Chamber Choir Season

The Grammy Award-winning Houston Chamber Choir will kick off its new season, called “Journeys,”  with Houstonian David Ashley White's haunting and beautiful Spirit Moving Over Chaos, under the direction of the Choir's Artistic Director, Dr. Betsy Cook Weber. The concert then leads into a single movement of Tarik O'Regan's The Ecstasies Above. Also featured are George Frideric Handel's ambitious Dixit Dominus and Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei with the debut of the newly formed Houston Chamber Choir Youth Chorus, closing with The Promised Land by British composer Ken Burton. Members of the Houston Symphony will also be a part of this memorable evening.  

The Chorus was selected through two highly competitive rounds of auditions emphasizing exceptional musicianship. These remarkable young singers represent an inspiring new chapter in the organization's history. Houston Chamber Choir is honored to welcome these artists to the stage for Opening Night and is thrilled to share this music together.

The Houston Chamber Choir is made up of 24 professional musicians of diverse backgrounds who hail from some of the finest music programs in the country, including Cleveland Institute of Music, New England Conservatory in Boston, Moores School of Music at the University of Houston, College Conservatory of Music, the University of Cincinnati and the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music.
