The Arlington-Belmont Chamber Chorus Stephanie Beatrice, Music Director The Arlington-Belmont Chamber Chorus (ABCC), established in 1975, is conducted by Stephanie Beatrice, Choral Music Director and is made up of sixteen singers auditioned from within the Chorale. Its repertoire presents audiences with smaller scale or little-known works, often more challenging than those performed by the Chorale. The ABCC’s accompanist is Brandon Santini.

In this special showcase, the H+H Chorus, hailed as “Boston’s best” by The Boston Musical Intelligencer, takes center stage with breathtaking sound: “The tenors offer a sense of wonder; the altos, excitement; the basses, appreciation; the sopranos, confidence” (The New York Times). Celebrate the start of summer with their soaring voices and lush harmonies embracing the full power of their sublime artistry. Led by celebrated BSO Choral Director James Burton, this extraordinary performance serves as a triumphant season finale, filling the air with radiant melodies and heartfelt emotion.
