Two concerts set for Saturday, Dec. 6, and two for Sunday, Dec. 7
The Grammy® Award-winning Houston Chamber Choir, under the direction of conductor Betsy Cook Weber, returns to the beauty of the Villa de Matel Chapel to present “Tapestry: Christmas at the Villa” on December 6 and December 7. The Choir’s annual holiday concerts share the universal message of peace and goodwill to the world.

A century ago, the cornerstone was laid to the Villa de Matel, one of Houston’s architectural treasures. The occupants of the Villa, the Sisters of Charity, also one of Houston’s treasures, represent all corners of the world, and they have long been interwoven in the tapestry of Houston life. The Chamber Choir is joined by the Treble Choir of Houston and Houston Bronze Ensemble in a celebration of Christmas at the Villa through carols that represent the Sisters’ countries of origin. Only subscription holders are guaranteed a seat for these sell-out concerts.
