For families across Spring, Tomball, Cypress and Northwest Houston looking for a special way to celebrate Christmas, a longtime local musical tradition is returning this December with 100 voices, a full orchestra and a familiar group of young singers joining the performance.

The Texas Master Chorale will present its 2026 Christmas concert, “A Season of Wonder,” on Saturday, December 19, at 7:30 p.m. at The Centrum at Cypress Creek Christian Community Center in Spring. The evening will feature traditional Christmas carols and holiday favorites performed by the acclaimed community chorus, accompanied by a full orchestra.

Adding a hometown connection to this year's concert, students from Tomball High School Choir will join the ensemble, giving local young musicians an opportunity to perform alongside experienced singers in a professional concert setting.

A Christmas Tradition With Deep Roots in Northwest Houston

For four decades, Texas Master Chorale has brought singers and audiences together through a shared appreciation for choral music.

Founded in 1986, the Tomball-based nonprofit ensemble consists of 100 auditioned singers who perform everything from classical choral masterworks to contemporary, sacred and secular compositions. Its musicians come from communities throughout Greater Houston and beyond, united by their love of singing and the opportunity to share that music with others.

The chorale is led by founder and artistic director Brad Bouley, whose career in music education is closely tied to the Tomball community.

Bouley served as Director of Choirs at Tomball High School for 20 years and later spent 15 years as Director of Fine Arts for Tomball Independent School District before retiring. In 2018, he received the Texas Choral Excellence Award from the Texas Choral Directors Association in recognition of his contributions to choral music.

Under his direction, Texas Master Chorale has performed major works by composers including Handel, Mozart, Bach and Brahms. The ensemble's performances have taken its members well beyond Texas, including appearances at New York's Lincoln Center and venues throughout Europe.

Closer to home, the organization continues to make choral music accessible to Northwest Houston audiences while encouraging the next generation of musicians. Its educational efforts include a scholarship program supporting students pursuing degrees in music education.

The participation of Tomball High School Chorale in this year's Christmas concert reflects that longstanding connection between the organization and local music education.

A New Home for the 2026 Christmas Concert in Spring

This holiday season also brings a change of scenery for longtime concertgoers.

Texas Master Chorale has moved its 2026-2027 concert season to The Centrum at Cypress Creek Christian Community Center, located at 6823 Cypresswood Drive in Spring, Texas.

The venue provides a local destination for residents of Spring, Champions, Klein, Tomball, Cypress and surrounding communities who enjoy live orchestral and choral performances without traveling into downtown Houston.

“A Season of Wonder” is part of the chorale's 2026-2027 concert season, which began with its October performance and will continue with a spring concert on April 3, 2027.

The nonprofit's work is supported in part by the Texas Commission on the Arts, along with community members and supporters who help sustain its performances and educational programs.
