Houston Chamber Choir opens its 18th season with a concert inspired by the election of Pope Francis as head of the Roman Catholic Church, and features works associated with the papacy, including Palestrina’s Pope Marcellus Mass, Francis Poulenc’s Four Prayers of St. Francis of Assisi, and Mulet’s organ work Tu es Petrus.
The concert will be presented September 15 at 4 p.m. at Holy Rosary Catholic Church (Rosenberg, Texas), and 9/17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, Houston.
