Ǥ DzWe are delighted that our Chamber Series has found a new home at the Academy’s remarkable 225‑ seat Norton’s Wood’s Center Auditorium in Cambridge, an undiscovered high‑quality music venue with stunning acoustics,” said David Hoose, Cantata Singers’ Music Director. The auditorium is no doubt handsome in the modern sense and very comfortable, and it possesses unobstructed sightlines, but like most fan shaped theaters, it is quite dead. Great for lectures with amplification, but exceedingly dry. Have you heard anyone sing there? ǯDz
