Houston Chamber Choir receives Margaret Hillis Award

The Houston Chamber Choir has been awarded the Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence by Chorus America. Robert Simpson is founder and artistic director.

The award honors the memory of Hillis, founder of the Chicago Symphony Chorus, for her more than 40 years of professional achievement and outstanding contributions to the choral field. The award is presented annually to a member chorus that demonstrates artistic excellence, a strong organizational structure, and a commitment to outreach, education, and/or culturally diverse activities. 

The award was presented to the choir during Chorus America’s annual conference in Chicago in June.
