Emmanuel Music Ryan Turner, Artistic Director
John Harbison, Principal Guest Conductor

Emmanuel Music enriches the cultural life of the community through the transformative power of music. Celebrating a 50-year tradition of performing weekly Bach cantatas in a liturgical setting, we perform concert repertoire from baroque to contemporary in large and small ensembles, always challenging audiences to explore and discover familiar and unfamiliar masterworks. The commitment and discipli

ne of performing together over 50 times a year nurtures a core of established and emerging musicians and fosters unparalleled artistic excellence and expressive intensity. In our outreach we are committed to training the next generation of musicians, mentoring young students, and reaching broad audiences in free concerts, lectures, and master classes.
