One of the highlights of our season is the annual invitational school choral festival, Hear the Future, which showcases three outstanding choirs from our region. This year, the invited choirs are the Spring Branch Girls Choir under the direction of Tracey Aycock, Knox Junior High School Choir under the direction of Lanna Flowers, and Cypress Falls High school Choir under the direction of Deidre Douglas. This season the Chamber Choir has expanded its community outreach to allow the Hear the Future program to have an even greater impact on students in Houston. Students will participate in a specialized curriculum focused on choral music and its history. And, four times during the school year, small ensembles of professional singers from the Houston Chamber Choir will travel to the participating schools and work directly with the student singers.
