Mixed Country Ensemble

Based in Somerville, MA

Founded and run by its singers, Convivium Musicum has been dedicated to concerts of uplifting beauty since 1987. Praised in The Boston Musical Intelligencer for our " . . . radiant and full sound ... complete interpretive assurance and a palpable sense of dedication to this music," Convivium is known for performances of Renaissance choral music that shimmer with precision, fine intonation, rhythmic accuracy, and lively attention to text. Over nearly three decades we have offered rarely-heard gems alongside stirring masterworks, and have collaborated with the Boston Camerata, the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras, The Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra, and the Viola da Gamba Society of New England. Under Music Director Michael Barrett, our programs are informed by careful research and scholarship, and our performances are devoted to bringing to life the complex and profound emotional texture of this repertoire. Early Music America has acclaimed our performance as "the kind of transforming experience that concert junkies are always seeking." This is what Convivium strives for in every concert program.

Directed by Michael Barrett.
