Boston Children's Chorus

This season, Boston Children’s Chorus honors the unheralded voices who shaped history from the shadows. Their courage fueled the fires of justice. Through powerful music and storytelling, our singers shine a light on local and national activists, who stood for dignity, equality, and hope. Their stories remind us that change often begins with small actions, grows through sacrifice, and sings in solidarity. Join our singers for an uplifting and inspiring season where they will learn the power of one small voice to make a meaningful impact in the world. We’re amplifying powerful voices this year—past and present. Inspired by trailblazers like Congressman John Lewis, community champion Melnea Cass, labor leader César Chávez, and activist icon Dolores Huerta, our concerts celebrate those who fought for justice, dignity, and change. Join us in honoring their legacy—explore our full season and discover how each performance tells a story that still resonates today! Free, reservations encouraged. ABOUT BCC Boston Children’s Chorus (BCC) was founded in 2003 by Hubie Jones, a civic leader who has worked for six decades to address the social problems facing Boston’s underserved children and communities. Named Boston’s “Ambassadors of Harmony” by The Boston Globe, BCC harnesses the power of music to connect Boston’s diverse communities, cultivate empathy, and inspire social inquiry. BCC after-school choral programs include 10 choirs with singers from 110 different zip codes in and around Boston. BCC is also proud to partner with schools to provide in-school choral education in Mattapan, Roxbury, South Boston, East Boston, Allston and the city of Chelsea. BCC presents over 50 performances per season in a wide range of public and private events. They have performed in venues from Boston Symphony Hall, and Royal Albert Hall in London, to Sydney Opera House, and the White House. BCC is supported in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, and in part by a grant from the Boston Cultural Council, a local agency which is funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, administered by the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture.

Tristan und Isolde

After years of anticipation, a truly unmissable event arrives to the Met Opera as the electrifying Lise Davidsen tackles one of the ultimate roles for dramatic soprano: the Irish princess Isolde in Wagner’s transcendent meditation on love and death. Heroic tenor Michael Spyres stars opposite Davidsen as the love-drunk Tristan. Runtime: 5:12 New Production The momentous occasion also marks the advent of a new, Met-debut staging by Yuval Sharon—hailed by The New York Times as “the most visionary opera director of his generation” and the first American to direct an opera at the famed Wagner festival in Bayreuth—as well as Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s first time leading Tristan und Isolde at the Met. Mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova reprises her portrayal of Brangäne, alongside bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny, who sings Kurwenal after celebrated Met appearances in Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländer and Ring cycle. Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green makes an important role debut as King Marke. Conductor: Yannick Nézet-Séguin Isolde: Lise Davidsen | Brangäne: Ekaterina Gubanova | Tristan: Michael Spyres | Kurwenal: Tomasz Konieczny | King Marke: Ryan Speedo Green Production: Yuval Sharon* | Set Designer: Es Devlin | Costume Designer: Clint Ramos | Lighting Designer: John Torres* | Projection Designer: Ruth Hogben* | Choreographer: Annie-B Parson
