The Choir of the Church of the Advent Boston

The Choir of The Church of the Advent, Boston, is a professional choir with the prime responsibility of providing appropriate music for the liturgy in this Anglo-Catholic parish. In a year’s time they will have sung about 50 Mass settings, and over 100 anthems, motets, canticles, carols, etc., in addition to a body of chants. While specializing in Renaissance polyphony, the choir’s repertoire is truly catholic, spanning all historical periods from Gregorian chant to world premieres. The Advent Choir’s performance has achieved both national and international recognition, including critically-acclaimed compact disc recordings on the Arsis and AFKA labels. The choir’s performances have been broadcast on National Public Radio, BBC Radio 3, as well as Boston’s WGBH. They have presented many concerts here and abroad and were a featured ensemble in the 1990 and 2014 American Guild of Organists National Conventions, the 1994 and 2003 Boston Early Music Festival concert series, the 1999 American Guild of Organists Region I Convention in Worcester, Massachusetts, and the 1999 and 2019 Boston Conferences of the Association of Anglican Musicians.
