Boston Secession Business Overview

Company Information: Hailed as "revitalizing the concert experience" (Boston Magazine), Boston Secession has delivered a decade of innovative programs that leave audiences "addicted," "charmed," "electrified" and "thoroughly engaged." Boston Secession casts its magical spell on audiences with superlative performances of rare and unusual music from nine centuries. This diverse repertoire supports thematic programs that forge connections between that music and the wider sphere of cultural life: art, politics, philosophy, religion, sexuality. So, why the name Boston Secession? One hundred years ago, Austrian painter Gustav Klimt's artists' co-operative, the Vienna Secession, created a sensation by displaying paintings at eye level for the first time. Now the common practice for all art galleries, the Secessionists' approach modernized the presentation of fine art forever. Inspired by the original Secession, Artistic Director Jane Ring Frank founded Boston Secession in 1996 as a professional music studio for modern vocal performance, bringing classical music to "eye level." Jane Ring Frank helps the audience "hear the music, not the chorus" through application of typically orchestral techniques to her ensemble of professional singers. Blending individual voices into a tightly-tuned, unified sound, Secession produces an aural effect "so precise," according to Richard Dyer of The Boston Globe, "[it makes] the ears ring." Ring Frank then puts this unique sound to work in creative thematic programs that take the concert experience further. Listening through the music, Secession's audiences directly experience the ideas and the cultural connections embedded in the sound. **DISCOUNT TICKETS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT WWW.BOSTONSECESSION.ORG**
