Musica Sacra (Cambridge)

Last updated

Musica Sacra is a mixed choral ensemble based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1959, [1] and has been under the direction of Mary Beekman since 1979. [2] Despite its name, the chorus performs both sacred and secular music, spanning five centuries. Its performances, typically in First Church Congregational in Cambridge, are frequently reviewed by the local media. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] The group has also performed at the invitation of institutions such as the Boston Early Music Festival; WGBH Radio; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University. [1]

Musica Sacra is not associated with the chorus in New York of the same name.
