Commonwealth Chorale seeks singers of all voice types who have strong vocal and sight-reading skills. The 2025-2026 season marks Commonwealth Chorale’s 50th Anniversary and will be filled with special performances.
In November, we will perform Daniel Pinkham’s Christmas Cantata, as well as works by Lili Boulanger, Flor Peeters and Max Janowski. In March, we will perform a new arrangement of Mozart’s beloved Requiem by English composer Howard Arman along with two Psalm settings by 19th-century Brazilian composer Jose Maricio Nunes Garcia. In May, we conclude our celebration with Martín Palmeri’s tango-influenced Misa a Buenos Aires (“Misatango”). The program will also feature tango works with tango orchestra and tango dancers! We conclude with Argentinian Alberto Ginastera’s Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah, written while Ginastera was living in the USA after being targeted by the Perón regime for supporting civil liberties.
Auditions will be held by appointment on the evenings of August 25th and 26th from 5:30 to 9:30 and on September 2nd, 9th, and 16th at 5:30 to 6:45. Auditions are held at our rehearsal location at First Baptist Church, 848 Beacon Street in Newton Center, a few minutes’ walk from the Newton Center stop on the “D” Green Line. There is also plenty of parking behind the church and on adjacent streets.
