Cantata Singers

Description

• A singular desire to bring to Bostons listeners music that isnt being heard anywhere else has inspired Cantata Singers programming for 50 years.In 1964, that music included the cantatas of J.S. Bach. Today, it may be hard for us to believe, but when Cantata Singers was founded in 1964, live performances of Bach cantatas were quite a rarity. In fact, Cantata Singers early concerts featured the first Boston performances of many of the cantatas.Bachs music, from the cantatas to the B-minor Mass to the Passions, remains an essential part of Cantata Singers repertoire. However, the ensembles repertoire has expanded to include music from the 17th century to today. Cantata Singers has commissioned 13 works for choir and orchestraincluding one that was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Musicand has presented more than fifty Boston premieres of music both old and new.Many of Bostons most talented musicians perform regularly with Cantata Singers. The chorus is made up of singers who have careers as musicians, educators, doctors, and architects. Many of these members appear as soloists with Cantata Singers, as well as with other highly respected organizations; some conduct other choruses and orchestras in the area. Although many of our musicians perform actively as solo singers, they choose to sing with Cantata Singers because of the reward they find in performing music of the choral canon at the highest possible level. Cantata Singers has always focused on the musicbe it by Bach, Verdi, Harbison, or Pärtand its audiences do, too. Our audiences return year after year to hear fresh visions of iconic music, or an intriguing unfamiliar work that isin factquite approachable. Each Cantata Singers concert is often surprising, sometimes challenging, always beautiful, and ultimately inspiring.
