The New England Chamber Choir is comprised of gifted amateur musicians who perform the best of the sacred choral music repertory, ranging from Gregorian chant to classically-inspired contemporary music. 

Most choir members of the choir have extensive choral experience, and the choir includes professional musicians, teachers of music and students of voice and various musical instruments.

The unique composition of NECC, along with the superb leadership of its music director, Richard Wm. Donohue, creates an atmosphere of musicianship, respect and passion, evident in the choir’s performances.
