Enjoy a spirited exploration of the unique history of Massachusetts and the essential role that the sea and water ways played in shaping the Commonwealth from one of Boston’s most celebrated vocal ensembles known for its unique and adventurous programming.
Starting with the creation stories of Cape Cod and the Islands as recounted by Indigenous communities, Nightingale delves into the region’s geological formation while highlighting other significant historical moments. From the arrival of the first Europeans to the waves of Irish immigration in Boston, the flourishing whaling and fishing industries, labor movements in hydro-powered mills and contemporary ecological politics that will shape the Bay State’s future, this performance weaves together a rich musical tapestry celebrating our beloved New England home. Produced by Joshua Glassman.
“Virtuosic, professional choir…Nightingale can be counted on for originality of tight thematic programming.” — Boston Musical Intelligencer
