Crescendo brings rarely heard choral and
instrumental music, sacred and secular, performed by professionals
and talented amateurs, to the communities of northwestern Connecticut,
from western Massachusetts, and from eastern New York State. MORE about
what we do.... |
| Our repertory runs the gamut
from Renaissance and Baroque music, to modern. |
Our artists
include the serious amateurs (who constitute the bulk of the
Crescendo Chorus), as
well as professional musicians from the Northeast United States, to
artists with international reputations, all
under the direction of our Artistic
Director, Christine Gevert. |
| Our performance schedule is
designed to accommodate the seasons here. In the summer, when the
major venues, like Music Mountain, the Berkshire Choral Festival, and
Tanglewood are in full swing, we enjoy their music. But in the
Spring and the Fall, when those venues are quiet, we offer major choral
and instrumental concerts. |
