“In every note, every harmony, and every word, we will explore what it means to be yourself, inviting our singers and community to embrace the challenges that life presents and transform them into songs of strength and beauty,” said Holder, ahead of the first rehearsal next week. “We are thrilled to be acknowledging the 20th anniversary of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, and to educate our singers about the importance of inclusivity for a thriving community.”
The BCC also announced their partnership with composers Melanie DeMore and Darita Seth, an extension of their “Opus Nuovo” program. This program commissions new work from composers that resonates with the BCC’s singers.
