CHORUS PRO MUSICA WELCOMES NEW MUSIC DIRECTOR BETSY BURLEIGH
The 2009–2010 season marks the debut of Dr. Betsy Burleigh as Chorus pro Musica's fifth Music Director in its sixty year history. Dr. Burleigh comes to the chorus as Music Director of the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh, a renowned 115-voice chorus founded in 1908 that is the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's chorus of choice. However, she is no stranger to Boston, where she was Music Director of The Master Singers from 1985-1991; she was also Music Director for the Longy Chamber Singers and the Cambridge Madrigal Singers, among other positions. She holds a doctorate in choral conducting from Indiana University and a masters degree from the New England Conservatory of Music.
