Boston Choral Festival 2026

Friday, October 30, 2026 | 7:30pm | Old South Church, Boston

The Program

Noah Horn, Music Director

Experience an unforgettable evening at Old South Church as Cantata Singers presents the third annual Boston Choral Festival.

The evening features Johnathan Dove’s contemplative The Passing of the Year, Arianne Abela’s uplifting I Love You Like a Rainbow and poignant Because You Sang, and Franck’s majestic Psalm 150.

This year’s Festival brings together around 200 singers, including 150 students from Westborough and Arlington High School choirs. After a day of immersive workshops, these young singers will join Cantata Singers on stage—uniting fresh voices with seasoned professionals in a powerful celebration of community and compassion.

Join us for a stirring evening where past and present, youth and experience, converge in music that speaks to both timeless questions and urgent contemporary concerns.
