Our Music

 

Our repertoire spans the ages and styles, from Bach to Bernstein, from Haydn to Corigliano. We perform with an orchestra and often with guest soloists. 

 

Among some of our past performances:

Randall Thompson's Frostiana,  

Mendelssohn's Elijah

Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, and Puccini's 

Messa di Gloria,

to name a few. 

 

Recent Music

 

We are so happy to be able to sing together again after the pandemic. Our last full pre-pandemic concert took place on January 2020, when we performed the Fauré Requiem and Handel's Dettingen Te Deum.

 

We began rehearsing again January 2022 and were grateful to join with the Fine Arts Chorale in Weymouth to perform the Mozart Requiem at the end of April 2022 (thanks to our friends at the Fine Arts chorale, made possible by our music Director, Richard Travers, who also conducts Weymouth!). 

​

In 2023, we performed a successful "Welcome Bach" concert in January and a performance of the Brahms Requiem in May at Eliot Church with full orchestra and soloists. It felt terrific to be back together again singing. 

 

In 2024, we sang Dvorak Stabat Mater on January 20, 2024, 8:00 pm and Mozart Vespers  solennes de confessore and Rutter Requiem on May 11, 8:00 pm with guest soloists and full orchestra at Grace Episcopal Church, 76 Eldridge Street, Newton Corner.

 

Our winter concert was earlier on Sunday December 8, 2024 at 3:00 pm. We sang Handel's Messiah at Grace Episcopal Church. Our spring concert was on May 18, 2025. We sang songs of Harmony and Resilience including the Holocaust Cantata. 

​​

Please join us for our next concert Gjeilo's Dreamweaver, and Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass on Sunday December 14, 2025, 3:00 pm.
