Welcome to Convivium Musicum!  Our 2012 season marks our fifth year with Music Director Michael Barrett.  We'll focus both our winter and spring programs on the music of Orlandus Lassus and the composers who influenced him, as well as composers he influenced. 

Please join us this month for three performances of Orlandissimo: A Prince of Music, in which we explore Lassus' later work when he was at the height of his powers.  Check out our season page for full details and the concert program.

Here's what audiences said about our 2011 concert season:

On Armada:

"...between good programming, and wonderful texts, and every singer's face up and out and communicating, this was absolutely a very interesting and enjoyable concert."

-- Allegra Martin, reviewing Armada in A choral musician's blog, May 24, 2011.  Read the full review here.

"I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the concert - what an interesting concept - and the readings created such an amazing context for the music. I would say a very multi-cultural evening - as the brain was stimulated on many levels."  -- M.C., Woburn, MA

"What a lovely and entertaining concert. Loved the primary source material! I especially liked all the Victoria pieces and the Guerrero blew me away." -- B.S., Watertown, MA

On Josquin's Playlist:

"...Melodies rang clear. Full awareness of harmonies, one by one, and the chorus’s unyielding focus constantly caused this listener to admire such extraordinary accomplishment…I was happy to discover this committed ensemble."

-- David Patterson, reviewing Josquin's Playlist in the
    Boston Musical Intelligencer, January 17, 2011.
