Crescendo Inc. Music Program

Crescendo's mission is to give to listeners and performers an alive experience of classical music. In part this is achieved by cultivating a repertoire that is not usually heard in this region: musical gems of Early Music as well as 20th century and contemporary works. As its name indicates, Crescendo serves the growth and intensification of the musical experience. Interactive performances, lectures and workshops and a historically informed rehearsal style make Crescendo into a unique organization, in which instruction and inspiration go hand in hand. Founded in 2003 by conductor Christine Gevert, Crescendo has an auditioned Chorus of about 50 singers, a semi-professional Vocal Ensemble, a Period Instrument Orchestra and a Baroque Chamber Ensemble. Professional national and international soloists are part of Crescendo's concerts and workshop/masterclass programs. A non for profit organization, Crescendo brings fine sacred and secular choral and instrumental music to the Northwest corner communities of Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York.
