Boston Cecilia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Boston Cecilia is a choral society in Boston, Massachusetts, which is in its 132nd season. Founded in 1876, the ensemble has enjoyed historic relationships with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and famous musicians such as Arthur Fiedler, Igor Stravinsky, and Antonin Dvorak^[1]. Today, the ensemble is led by Donald Teeters and is noted for its excellent historical-style performances, and specializes in the oratorios of George Frederic Handel^[2] as well as premieres by prominent Boston musicians.

In addition to its local performances, Cecilia has recorded two albums for the Newport Classic label.^[3][4]
