Men’s Voices
By the late 1980's the men's ensemble of Sequentia was a renowned trans-Atlantic collegium (many of the singers came from Boston) which performed and recorded widely in North America and Europe, sometimes under the name 'Sons of Thunder'. More recently, the ensemble has toured with programs such as 'Pilgrims to the Apocalypse' (2000) and in 2004 joined with the men's ensemble of the ensemble Dialogos (dir. Katarina Livljanic) for the project Chant Wars, which toured in Europe, North and South America, and continues to be performed. The Boston men's ensemble premiered a new program in 2008: Carmina Burana (with the Boston Symphony Orchestra), and in 2009 a new ensemble of Sequentia's men's voices was founded in Paris (see Programs: Voices from the Island Sanctuary).
