Founded in 1987, The Houston Choral Society is composed of passionate, experienced singers who perform a breadth of music from the great masters, contemporary composers, American heritage, musical theater and opera. Last season, The Choral Society performed Pieces from Aaron Copland, Franz Joseph Haydn, Leonard Bernstein, and others.  The highlight of last season was the performance of the Requiem by Johannes Brahms, which The Choral Society sang entierly in the original German, accompanied by a full orchestra.  The Choral Society also performs major works such as Mozart’s Requiem and Handel’s Messiah periodically.

In recent years, the group has presented a concert version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s H.M.S. Pinafore with members of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Houston; Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana with the Fort Bend Boys Choir of Texas and Cy-Fair High School Choir in Moores Opera House at the University of Houston; Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem at the Wortham Center, and they debuted a commissioned piece by Dr. Adolphus Hailstork called Set Me On a Rock, sung with The Prairie View A&M University Concert Chorale at the Wortham Center.
