Magic moment for the Houston Chamber Choir
Alli and Sean Bittner, Richard and Jan Kellogg and Winnie and Ben Powell enjoyed the Houston Chamber Choir’s 2022 gala, This Magic Moment, which honored founder and artistic director Robert Simpson and Marianna Parnas-Simpson for their service to the Houston arts community. The evening event was held at the Petroleum Club with pre-dinner entertainment by pianist Marvin Gaspard and magician Scott Hollingsworth. The Houston Chamber Choir singers entertained the audience with the song “This Magic Moment,” made popular in 1968 by Jay and the Americans while Hollingsworth entertained with magic tricks, including making a guest’s $100 bill disappear and reappear. The live auction featured unique opportunities, including conducting a Houston Chamber Choir rehearsal. To close out the evening, the choir sang the Beatles’ tune “In My Life.”
