The Boston Cecilia is a longstanding American volunteer performing arts organization based in Brookline, Massachusetts, with roots dating back to 1876. The group focuses on period-instrument performances of baroque repertoire, notably Handel oratorios and Bach works, while also premiering contemporary compositions and recording contemporary-era pieces. Its activities center on live concert performance led by Music Director Donald Teeters and Associate Conductor Barbara Bruns, alongside a Composer-in-Residence, Scott Wheeler, positioning the ensemble at the intersection of traditional baroque interpretation and modern composition. The organization serves audiences interested in historically informed performance and contemporary classical music, contributing to Boston’s broader musical landscape through notable concert projects and appearances under renowned conductors. Recent history includes recording Wheeler’s The Construction of Boston on the Naxos label and ongoing efforts to present new works alongside core baroque programming. The Boston Cecilia operates as a specialized ensemble within the classical music industry, maintaining its base in the Boston area and continuing to participate in significant events in the region’s musical history.
