How do I love thee? Composers have counted the ways through the centuries. The Houston Chamber Choir will take the listener on a romantic journey that begins in the Renaissance period with madrigals— searing and saucy. Next, are two important pieces from the Romantic period —the Brahms’ Vier Gesänge for treble choir, horns, and harp and Schubert’s Ständchen for tenor-bass chorus, followed by Sven-David Sandström’s “Four Songs of Love.” Finally, the Choir adds jazz, pop, and barbershop to round out the program.
The choir was guest conducted by Barnaby Smith, Grammy-nominated conductor and Artistic Director of Voces8!
“Conducting the Houston Chamber Choir was like driving a Ferrari—an exhilarating experience of precision and artistry at every turn. Their responsiveness, attention to detail, and sheer musicality made the collaboration deeply inspiring. It’s a rare privilege to work with an ensemble of such talent and dedication, where every nuance is executed with brilliance and passion.”
