Spectrum Singers - Performing at First Church Congregational in Cambridge

Mission Statement

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.
