Boston Modern Orchestra Project

Boston's Chorus pro Musica was founded in 1949 by the late Alfred Nash Patterson, one of the most influential forces in choral music in New England, and quickly built a superb reputation for its professional-level musical standards and innovative programming. Over the years, these strengths have led to collaborations with such organizations as the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Philharmonic, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Rhode Island Philharmonic, Craig Smith and Emmanuel Music, and the Boston Academy of Music, as well as various opera companies including Boston Concert Opera, Opera Company of Boston, and Commonwealth Opera. The chorus has twice received Grammy nominations for recordings made with the Boston Symphony Orchestra on the RCA label. Chorus pro Musica's dedication to new and rarely performed choral music has resulted in numerous Boston premieres, several American premieres, and at least two world premieres ; the Poulenc Gloria and the Britten War Requiem. Chorus pro Musica continues to develop partnerships with such leading musical organizations as the Boston Philharmonic, Newton Philharmonic and the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras. In 1998 we were proud to perform in the Lila York World Premiere of Boston Ballet's Ode to Joy, a sweeping, impassioned new ballet set to the final movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. We have been proud to join the Boston Philharmonic in performances of Mahler's Eighth Symphony and, most recently, his Second Symphony.

The New Hampshire Humanities Council is a private non-profit organization that strengthens New Hampshire by providing free public humanities programs in its communities. While the Humanities Council's mission is specific to New Hampshire, we are not part of the state government. We are part of a national network of Humanities Councils affiliated with the National Endowment for the Humanities. We rely on individual, corporate, and foundation support for our diverse programs, which foster reflection, discussion, and civil debate where people live, work, study, and play. The humanities are those fields of inquiry that explore the heart of the human experience. They help us experience and remember the power of ideas in a world where family, community, and career are in a constant state of flux. The humanities include but are not limited to literature, history, languages, ethics, philosophy, comparative religion and culture, and the interpretation of the arts.
