What people are saying about New World Chorale

  • You can’t have a great performance of Neumeier’s “Third Symphony” without a great performance of Mahler’s Third Symphony. Johnathan McPhee, leading the Boston Ballet Orchestra and the New World Chorale, delivered exactly that.

    Jeffrey Gantz, Globe Correspondent, Boston Globe

  • “Working with the NWC is a musical dream! Every note is sung with conviction, musical intent, and artistic refinement. Symphony Pro Musica congratulates NWC on 10 superb years and looks forward to many musical collaborations in the next decade.”

    Mark Churchill, Founder and Music Director, Symphony Pro Musica

  • “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

  • “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.”

    Jonathan McPhee , Music Director, Boston Ballet Orchestra, Lexington Symphony, Symphony NH
