Music
Director
 As
we prepare to launch our 29th season, Cantemus is thrilled
to welcome a musical star to our chamber chorus: Jane
Ring Frank takes the baton effective July 1 as new music
director. The seventh conductor to hold the position,
she is best known in Boston as the Founder/Artistic Director
of Boston Secession, a critically-acclaimed professional
chorus that broke musical barriers from 1996 -2010, when
it ended its 13-year run. The Boston Globe called Secession
an “extraordinary chorus, notable for its beautiful
balance, musical surety, and English-styled straight-toned
singing” (March, 2008), while Tom Garvey of the
Hub Review praised the ensemble for its “lushly
transparent singing conducted with intelligence and wit” (February,
2007).
With
degrees in accompanying as well as conducting, she is
a Resident Scholar at the Women’s Studies Research
Center at Brandeis University, Minister of Music at the
First Congregational Church in Winchester, and Artistic
Director of the Concord Women’s Chorus, a 50-voice
women’s chorus. Previously, she was a faculty member
at Emerson College for 12 years, and the Conductor of
Philovox, publishing house E.C. Schirmer’s resident
professional recording chorus.
