NEC Chamber Singers + Erica J. Washburn

Cost: Free - Ticket Required Artist(s): The NEC Chamber Singers is an ensemble, open to all majors at NEC, of 24–30 musicians who perform challenging works from all style periods, with a particular emphasis on 19th–21st century a cappella works. The choir rehearses three times a week and experiences choral music-making in an intimate ensemble setting, typically in the round. Each NEC Chamber Singer is a musician seeking to understand the principles and nuance of superior choral artistry so that they may be prepared for professional opportunities and expectations outside of the Conservatory.
