BCE’s 2010–2011 Season
The Boston Choral Ensemble kicks off its 10th anniversary season with a unique retrospective concert led by conductor Christopher Nickelson. Instead of simply performing old BCE classics, we will revisit our past seasons and bring to light new and familiar works inspired by our first 9 years.
For our 10th anniversary season, the BCE will expand its programming to include a 4th concert: our first annual Choral Holiday, a light holiday program featuring a guest choir from Winchester High School. The program, led by Miguel Felipe, promises to celebrate the season in a uniquely BCE way!
Inspired by the finest twentieth-century British choral music, BCE presents Door to Paradise, a thematic program that explores different perspectives on death and life after death. With Howells' sublime Take him Earth for Cherishing as the centerpiece, Door to Paradise also includes modern masterpieces by Tavener and Harvey, two little-known gems by Richard Scarth and two masterworks for double choir: Faire is the heaven by Harris and the monumental Vox dicentis: clama by Naylor.
Bang!
3|5 June 2011
Join BCE and conductor William Cutter as we conclude our 10th anniversary season with a BANG! To help us celebrate, BCE invited two of the most talented members of New England's percussion community to join us for this concert. This program of music for percussion and chorus included the premiere of A Depth We Cannot Sound, by Timothy C. Takach, winner of our 4th Annual Commission Competition.
In addition to the Competition premiere, the program included Dominick Argento's I Hate and I Love and Peter Klatzow's Return of the Moon.
