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. |

"Compelling... unfailingly dramatic performances
that grappled with real issues in the music and
real issues the music is about."
—Richard Dyer,
Boston Globe
"Rare beauty, full of dynamic nuances and
distinguished by impeccable intonation."
—Howard Schott,
Early Music News
"The Spectrum singers brought... focused
intensity to the soldiers and peasants they
portrayed. They had a whole range of character to
themselves, and they conveyed it perfectly."
—David Weininger,
Boston Phoenix
"Ehrlich and company offered a deeply felt
performance... The chorus, which has made a
specialty of singing without accompaniment, knows
how to blend into a harmonious entity. The
sweetness of tone was particularly evident in some
of the quiet passages. When called upon, too,
Ehrlich and his ensemble could produce
hair-raising tumult."
—Ellen Pfeifer,
Boston Globe
"The singers sounded secure in even the most
demanding passages."
—Richard Dyer,
Boston Globe |
