1 Season 20 and Counting!

2 I have no words. I will always remember this performance. I have been to a lot of choir concerts, but I have never been more moved. LuNan Spencer, audience member

3 Thank you for choosing the Houston Chamber Choir Shortly after landing on a commercial flight, an attendant s arrival remarks conclude with, We know you have a choice when it comes to air travel, and we appreciate your choosing us. Well, that s not only true for airline travel. Those of us in the arts could consider saying the same. As residents of the country s 4 th largest city, we have many worthwhile ways to spend our few precious evenings out. That s why for twenty years we have dedicated ourselves to making you feel glad you chose the Houston Chamber Choir - by striving to present programs that are inventive, inviting, and memorable. 20 and Counting! Over the next few pages you will find a season that offers an audience pick of favorite musical moments from the past twenty years, the debut appearance with the Chamber Choir of acclaimed choral conductor Anton Armstrong, dramatic music by Benjamin Britten and Mexican masters, our annual Christmas at the Villa concerts, and our season finale featuring four-time Grammy award winning jazz bassist Christian McBride, who is writing a ground-breaking piece for us and his trio that will receive its world premiere that night. We have great fun preparing these widely varying programs, but the real thrill is sharing them with you. Join us for our 20 th Anniversary Season, 20 and Counting! -- and thank you for choosing the Houston Chamber Choir! Robert Simpson Founder & Artistic Director

4 There are three reasons why I loved working with the Houston Chamber Choir: they make a gorgeous sound; they are committed to their work; they deliver in performance. The honors for this go to the singers themselves of course, but also very much to their founder and artistic director Robert Simpson who has created something special. Long may this group prosper! Paul Hillier Grammy-winning choral conductor

5 Season 20 th Anniversary Now and Then The First 20 Years 20 and Counting! Sunday, September 20, 2015, 4:00 pm South Main Baptist Church, Houston, Texas The Houston Chamber Choir was founded by a band of adventurous and gifted trailblazers. We open our season with a tribute to them: the musicians, board members, and supporters who, over the years, have built it into one of the leading professional ensembles in the United States. The program features musical highlights spanning our two decades. Founded in 1995 by Robert Simpson The Chamber Choir sings its first concert on June 25, 1995

6 The Original Jersey Boy Frank Sinatra, Big Band to Vegas Sunday, October 11, 2015, 8:00 pm Miller Outdoor Theatre, Houston, Texas FREE ADMISSION! Concert sponsored by Collectors Firearms. Building on its successful 2014 debut at Miller Outdoor Theatre, the Houston Chamber Choir pays tribute to one of America s greatest performers, Frank Sinatra, who would turn 100 in The Choir will sing Sinatra favorites from the Big Band era to his later chart toppers, including Strangers in the Night, Come Fly with Me, and My Way, staples of his Las Vegas nightclub act.

7 Ya Gotta Believe Anton Armstrong, Guest Conductor Saturday, November 14, 2015, 7:30 pm South Main Baptist Church, Houston, Texas Early believers sustain early promise, and for the fledgling Chamber Choir, Anton Armstrong was one of those early believers. We pay tribute to this acclaimed conductor of the St. Olaf Choir for his faith in us as he leads the Chamber Choir in works by choral masters from Bach to today s leading composers. Britten: St. Nicolas Cantata Saturday, December 5, 2015, 7:30 pm South Main Baptist Church, Houston, Texas Britten s charming dramatic cantata for tenor soloist, chorus, children s choir and orchestra recounts the legendary good works and miracles of this 3 rd century bishop who over time has become known throughout the western world as Santa Claus.
