Harvard Pro Musica
Harvard Pro Musica is a small and ambitious choral group with a classical inclination and a very long history in the area. The group was formed in 1969 by 18 enthusiastic singers and has been in continuous existence since then. The chorus consists of about 35-40 members from Harvard, Acton, Ayer, Bolton, Boxboro, Concord, Lancaster, Leominster, Lunenburg and other towns. Now heading into its 40th season, Harvard Pro Musica is actively looking for new members in all voice parts for the 2008-2009 season.
The musical director is Mark Bennett, DMA. Our accompanist is Susan Minor. Susan teaches piano at her studio in Acton and Mark offers Voice Lessons by arrangement.
Mission Statement
Harvard Pro Musica was established in 1969 to promote the common good and general welfare of the people of Harvard and local communities by providing periodic choral concerts of fine quality for the public; and to provide, for interested people of sufficient musical ability, an organized group with which to sing. Harvard Pro Musica is a non-profit organization supported in part by grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Support also comes from contributions from individuals and businesses, and program advertisements.Our Activities & Calendar
Performances are held in local towns, recently in Harvard, Lowell, Acton and other towns. Music comes from the classical Repertoire, from Baroque to modern, from larger masterpieces to smaller lesser-known gems. Some are performed with full orchestra and other pieces are a cappella.Membership Information
Anyone with a desire to sing classical music in a chorus is invited to join. While there is no audition process, the musical director has the option to listen to the member primarily for purpose of placement into vocal sections. Members pay annual dues, and purchase the sheet music.Meeting Information
