On behalf of the Spectrum Singers, I’d like to
welcome you to our Web site and invite you to
learn more about one of Boston’s most adventurous
choral groups. The Spectrum Singers perform choral
music from the pre-Renaissance through the 20th
century, emphasizing seldom-heard works by master
composers. We encourage you to attend one of our
upcoming concerts or to join our mailing list. And
if you’re looking for a group to sing with, please
consider auditioning for us.
