Testimonials

The New World Chorale, and its Artistic Director, Holly Krafka, is truly one of Boston’s artistic gems. They sing with intelligence, authority, and — most important for me — passion.

It is an honor and extreme pleasure for me to offer my congratulations and admiration to the New World Chorale and their energetic and effusive founder and director, Holly MacEwen Krafka, on the occasion of their Tenth Anniversary Season, from all of us at the Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra.

Interestingly, in almost an “alignment of the planets” scenario, the New World Chorale and the Claflin Hill Symphony both came to life within a month of each other ten years ago, and immediately formed a collaboration partnership which has brought forth some of the most memorable, exciting, and profound performances in both of our ten years of music-making as ensembles.

The New World Chorale is the very finest choral ensemble I have ever had the honor to work with, and their director is one of my premiere partners in bringing great music to new audiences.

New World Chorale: We love you, and THANKS for your voices!

–Paul Surapine, Founding Executive & Artistic Director, Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra
