this weekend. The program includes works by Eric Whitacre, Morten Lauridsen, John Cage and the choir’s first performance of Mass by Igor Stravinsky. The concert takes place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at South Main Baptist Church.
Cook Weber started piecing the concert together using only California composers when she realized California Gold is going to be a pretty nifty program. “The whole piece is austere and fair,” Cook Weber said. “It almost feels unemotional. I think Stravinsky wanted it to be, superficially at least, unemotional. It's really interesting. It's quite a difficult piece, and the choir just sounds beautiful on it.”The performance sets the stage for Cook Weber, who was recently announced as the successor to Robert Simpson when he plans to retire after the 2024-25 season – the Houston Chamber Choir’s 30th season.
