It will only perform secular choral masterworks; no sacred music will ever be programmed. The repertoire will include works from ancient to modern times. The Boston musical scene is all but devoid of this type of programming, let alone this being the case on a regional or even a national level. The goal is for the chorus to start small, sixteen or more excellent singers, but to think large. The eventual goal is for the chorus to have enough members to perform large ensemble secular masterworks with area orchestras. However, if its fate is to remain a smaller, more select group of singers, then that would be an equally good outcome; so much good and often neglected music exists for such ensembles. Hybrid performances will be the norm. Choral music concerts will eventually include both conventional concert presentations and ones which will include interdisciplinary efforts.  less
