Blue Heron Renaissance Choir

Comment on Facebook

Blue Heron is Boston's leading professional early music vocal ensemble, committed to vivid live performance inspired by the study of original source materials and historical performance practice. Led by music director Scott Metcalfe, the group's principal repertoire is 15th- and 16th-century music from England. France, the Low Countries, and Spain. Now in its 10th season, Blue Heron presents its own series of concerts in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and has appeared at other venues throughout the Northeast, in New York City, and in California. Blue Heron's first CD, featuring music by Guillaume Du Fay, was released in March of 2007 to international critical acclaim.

      Attending the concert by the Blue Heron Rennaissance Choir was magical. The voices were like angels and the setting was near perfect for the event. I especially liked it when the lights were turned off and the church was lit by candlelight. I also heard most of the lecture that was given prior to the concert which was most interesting and a very nice addition to the evening. I was also delighted that there was free parking available in the University Garage. The only possible problem was the small amount of restrooms. All in all, it was a fabulous night! Collapse
