Founded in 1995 by Artistic Director Robert Simpson, the Houston Chamber Choir received the 2019 Grammy® Award for Best Choral Performance for it's recording of the complete works of Maurice Duruflé (also available from Signum). Other honors include Chorus America's Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence and the American Prize, Professional Choir Division. Dubbed by Jamie Bernstein as "the choral equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters" the Houston Chamber Choir is as comfortable singing jazz with Christian McBride and Dave Brubeck as performing Morton Feldman's Rothko Chapel with violist Kim Kashkashian, and Mass Observation by Tarik O'Regan.
