Cantata Singers and Ensemble
A singular desire to bring to Boston's listeners music that isn’t being heard anywhere else has inspired Cantata Singers’ programming for 50 years. In 1964, that music included the cantatas of J.S. Bach. Today, it may be hard for us to believe, but when Cantata Singers was founded in 1964, live performances of Bach cantatas were quite a rarity. In fact, Cantata Singers’ early concerts featured the first Boston performances of many of the cantatas.
