Mixed Choral Chorus

Based in Brookline, MA

Ever since its founding in 1876, The Boston Cecilia has enjoyed a history remarkable for its many fine conductors. The adventurous B.J. Lang in his 33 years of leadership established a pattern of introducing new works to Boston audiences alongside standard repertoire. Many of those unknown pieces joined the canon-the Bach Mass in B Minor, Brahms Requiem, and Handel's Acis and Galatea, to name a few. Among his novel ideas, Lang had the boldness to program Bach for a Victorian audience whose taste, ironically, found "antique" music decidedly old-fashioned.
