2009/2010 SEASON

Zilkha Hall/Hobby Center
for the Performing Arts

The glorious voices of the Houston Chamber Choir lift in song as we celebrate the 350th birthday of composer Henry Purcell with a collaborative musical trip to late 17th-century London. This grandiose tribute to music’s patron saint features Purcell’s extravagant but seldom heard Hail! Bright Cecilia.

                        Chacony in G Minor (strings and continuo)
                        Sonata in D Major (trumpet, strings, and continuo)
                        Hail! Bright Cecilia (soloists, choir and orchestra)
