The first Early Music Academy to take place in Boston is well under way!
Thirty-one singers from the United States and Canada arrived last Saturday and have been hard at work rehearsing under the direction of Andrew Carwood, Janet Coxwell, and David Woodcock.
Their preparation of sacred choral selections from the English Renaissance will be presented at the seminary and at Saint Cecilia’s, Boston over the next three days. These events are all open to the public.
We invite you and your friends to come hear this wonderful festival choir at the following:
Sung Evening Prayer, including the Magnificat on the 8th Tone by Thomas Tallis, and “O Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem” by Nicolson.
