For over 30 years, Cambridge Community Chorus has welcomed singers of all ages and backgrounds from Cambridge and beyond. Led by Music Director Dr. Pamela Mindell, the Chorus combines an open admission policy – no audition required! – with high musical standards and adventurous programming that has included world and North American premieres, as well as some of the greatest works in the choral repertoire.
Highlights of recent seasons include Karl Jenkins’ The Peacemakers, Howard Goodall’s Eternal Light, Brahms’s German Requiem, Mozart’s “Coronation” Mass, Bach’s Cantata 61, Ariel Ramirez’s Navidad Nuestra, Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Dona Nobis Pacem, Poulenc’s Gloria, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, Cherubini’s Requiem in C minor, Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah, and Handel’s Messiah. Recordings of selected performances are available on the Listen page.
The last live concert before the Covid-19 pandemic was a sold-out performance of Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concert on December 15, 2019, at MIT’s Kresge Auditorium. WGBH’s Eric Jackson, the Dean of Boston Jazz Radio, introduced the work, in which the Chorus joined standout soloists, a virtuoso tap dancer and the White Heat Swing Orchestra.
