The Boston Cecilia is Boston’s longest-existing amateur chorus, famed in recent years for period instrument performances of Handel and Bach as well as revelatory readings of recent masterpieces.

Founded in 1876, Cecilia's reputation for youthful and stylish performances, winning highest praise from audiences and critics alike, continues under the current leadership of Donald Teeters.

"Teeters and The Boston Cecilia have performed at least as many works by Handel as any conductor and ensemble in this country. 'The Choice of Hercules' has been recorded a few times in England, but this was evidently only the second American performance. Everyone was on home ground. The orchestra...played with vigor and character, and the chorus sang with balance, discipline, and investment."
-Richard Dyer, The Boston Globe
