Sing Along And Dream On With Us!
2023 Summer Campaign
The Houston Chamber Choir will soon debut our 29th artistic season, aptly named Prime Time, a testament to the unique display of musical talent awaiting us. We hope that you will join us this summer in dreaming and preparing for this season, by participating in our Annual Fund. Your support is crucial in realizing our mission to serve our community and uplift hearts through the power of choral music. Dreams are what we, together, make them – be a part of great artistic exploration and discovery, through choral music.
