Welcome
 The Boston Choral Ensemble is the region’s most innovative choral ensemble. The group exists to encourage the creative expansion of the choral art by exploring the essential qualities that unite diverse traditions.
We are an auditioned choir of 36-40 mixed voices. Our programs are varied and engage membership and audiences both intellectually and emotionally. In recent years, programs have included musical monuments like Rachmaninoff’s All-Night Vigil (Vespers) and Part’s seldom-heard Passion, as well as 20th century classics like Swayne’s Magnificat or Fine’s The Hour-Glass. We have also performed masterworks of the Renaissance such as Byrd’s Mass for Five Voices and Lassus’s Lagrime di San Pietro, and other works by composers such as Britten, Distler, Howells, Josquin, Miskinis, Poulenc, Schutz, Tallis, and Victoria.
