♫ JOIN OUR CHORUS! ♫
THE SCHILLER INSTITUTE
HOUSTON COMMUNITY CHORUS
We invite you to join and sing, even if you have never sung outside of the shower! Open to the public. Come listen, watch and join. Dorceal Duckens is maestro!
Join our rehearsals at:
Lansdale Community Center, 8201 Roos Road,
Houston 77036 * Tuesday evenings, 6PM – 7:30 PM
(Note: Please call number below, to confirm our rehearsal location over summer.)
All rehearsals and performances of the Chorus are held at the Verdi tuning of A=432Hz (C approximately 256 Hz), and the chorus always rehearses at this tuning, which allows the greatest resonance of the human singing voice, and transparency with instrumental voices.
Our chorus is dedicated to the classical repertoire, drawing from the African-American Spirituals and the works of J. S. Bach through Verdi and Brahms.
The combination of the proper pitch, bel canto training, and qualified musical direction allow for a young chorus to have a warmth and fullness of sound which can surprise even professional musicians. Come join us on Tuesday evenings!
Call for more information: 713-830-9049 ♫
