About Chorus Boston

Chorus Boston is an amateur international choral group whose goal is to enjoy singing together while striving to attain a high level of musical performance. The group was established in 1997 by Noriko Sakamaki, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music Choral Conducting program. The group sings both classical and modern music, focusing on Japanese music but singing as well from the choral repertory in English, French, German, Hebrew and other languages. Currently under its fourth conductor, encompassing an international membership of both male and female voices in a wide age range, the group enthusiastically rehearses weekly. In addition to two regular concerts each year, the chorus also has participated in charitable community concerts, introducing Japanese culture to a wide range of audiences. The group has regularly performed for the Japanese Association of Greater Boston annual New Year party. In May of 2005, members were invited to join the Tokyo-based choral group, Around Singers, in a performance at Carnegie Hall in New York. Its winter concert in 2003 established a new precedent by forming a chamber orchestra that performed together with the chorus. This was repeated for the 2004 and 2005 winter concerts as well.

Rehearsals are held at All Saints Parish in Brookline on Thursdays from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
