David Hoose, Music Director of The Cantata Singers, Boston, talks to Michael Miller: broken podcast link fixed!
The Cantata Singers of Boston will begin their 2009-10 season on November 6 at Jordan Hall with a concert combining:
Heinrich Schütz, Musikalische Exequien
Hugo Distler, Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied, Op. 12, no. 1 from Geistliche Chormusik
Arnold Schoenberg, Friede auf Erden
J.S. Bach, Cantata BWV 8, “Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben?”

This thoughtful and lively program of Baroque and modern music is typical of the Cantata Singers, who in recent years have been building their season programs around a single composer, this year Heinrich Schütz, the greatest predecessor of the central figure in the group's mission, Johann Sebastian Bach.
This gave me an opportunity to continue our podcast series in conversation with David Hoose, the Cantata Singers' Music Director for the past 26 years. Since then Mr. Hoose has been one of the central figures in the Boston music scene.
