Trailblazers have mapped the course of American music as much as American history. The Houston Chamber Choir opens their season with a gathering of these singular voices from the dearly loved Spirituals and folksongs of Stephen Foster to “Clapping Music” by pioneer Steve Reich and “Fly Away I” by the brilliant young composer Caroline Shaw, a Shepherd School graduate and Pulitzer Prize-winner. The contrarian Charles Ives will also be there, but they will hear a side of him they would never imagine.
