Founded in 1964, Cantata Singers is a Boston-based chorus and orchestra whose roots lie in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The ensemble’s main season and chamber concerts now explore a wide range of music that reaches from the 17th century to the present, often exploring connections to Bach’s continuing and profound influence on our music, our culture, and ourselves.

Our unique education program, Classroom Cantatas, teaches song-writing and choral singing to under-represented Boston School children, guided by the belief that all children deserve the means to express their creative voices.
