Description
The People of The Spectrum Singers
The Spectrum Singers is recognized as one of the leading choral ensembles in the Northeast, comprising select voices drawn from the greater Boston area. The Spectrum Singers gave their first concert under Music Director John W. Ehrlich in December of 1980. Mr. Ehrlich chose the group’s name to highlight what he hoped would be the chorus’s primary mission: to perform works from all periods of music history – pre-Renaissance through the present day – at a level of historically-informed professionalism equal to the world’s finest choral ensembles.
From its beginnings, the chorus has embraced “amateur singers” – gifted vocalists who willingly perform without pay. Today, people from all walks of life sing with The Spectrum Singers, many bringing to the chorus significant experience and skills as choral and solo vocal artists. As a result, the chorus has prospered artistically since 1980, and today is widely regarded as one of the finest choral ensembles in the region. In addition to its own annual subscription concert series, the 50-voice chorus has been called upon by composers and other musical ensembles to collaborate in premiere performances of significant choral works and in the concerts of other ensembles. Recent joint ventures have included appearances with the Cantata Singers, The Indian Hill Symphony Orchestra and Emmanuel Music and Boston Landmarks Orchestra.
The Spectrum Singers are admired for their nimble flexibility in performance of the entire choral spectrum. While renowned for the special skills they bring to very demanding a cappella repertoire, the chorus is also praised for the rich and robust tone and fleet virtuosity it brings to works accompanied by orchestra. Equally of interest is the chorus’s breadth of repertoire. Music Director John W. Ehrlich is widely admired for his intriguing and adventuresome programming. Concerts by The Spectrum Singers regularly offer works of great contrast and compelling resonances.
