The Boston Cecilia gives the premiere of Ōgane, a new work written for the choir by the composer Derek Hurst and inspired by the sound of Japanese temple bells. It is scored for chorus, vocal soloists and chamber orchestra. Around it the choir sings music by Bach, by the Renaissance Flemish composer Nicolas Gombert, by Blevins and by others. The concert closes Cecilia's 2026–27 season, titled Perspectives.
