New 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.

Please join us December 3 and 4 for our first winter concerts with Jane! To read more about her appointment, please check out the news release.
