The People of the Spectrum Singers
|
|
|
|
From its beginnings,
the Spectrum Singers has showcased amateur singers—gifted
vocalists who willingly perform without pay. Today, people from all
walks of life sing with The Spectrum Singers, many bringing to the
chorus significant experience and skills as choral and solo vocal
artists. As a result, the chorus has prospered artistically since
1980, and today is widely regarded as one of the finest choral
ensembles in the region. In addition to its own concert series,
which regularly offers offer works of great contrast and compelling
resonances, the 40-voice chorus has been called upon by composers
and other musical ensembles to collaborate in performances of
significant choral works and in the concerts of other ensembles.
Recent joint ventures have included appearances with the Cantata
Singers, The Indian Hill Symphony Orchestra and Emmanuel Music and
Boston Landmarks Orchestra.
The Spectrum Singers are admired for their nimble flexibility in
performance of the entire choral spectrum. While known for the
special skills its members bring to very demanding a cappella works,
the chorus also wins praise for the rich and robust tone and
virtuosity it brings to works accompanied by an orchestra or solo
instrumentalists.

John
W. Ehrlich
Music Director |
|
|
John W.
Ehrlich, founder and music director of The Spectrum
Singers, has been active as a singer and conductor in the
Boston and Cambridge areas for more than thirty years. He
is widely admired for his intriguing and adventuresome
programming.
"From the beginning, it's been my goal to seek out and
perform worthy, important music that is rarely heard," he
says. "As our name suggests, we draw on the whole
'spectrum' of master works from the Renaissance to the
present day."
Mr. Ehrlich studied music and conducting while attending
the Hartt School of Music, Trinity College, and both
Harvard and Boston Universities. His teachers were Robert
Shaw, Gregg Smith, G. Wallace Woodworth, Vytautous
Marijousius, Iva Dee Hiatt, and Margaret Hillis. Also a
singer, Mr. Ehrlich has sung with the Hartford Chamber
Choir, Tanglewood Festival Chorus, Cambridge Society for
Early Music, John Oliver Chorale, The Chicago Symphony
Orchestra Chorus, Boston Baroque, and the Emmanuel Church
Choir. For eight seasons he was music director of The
Master Singers of Worcester.
This is Mr. Ehrlich’s 28th season as music director of The
Spectrum Singers. |
