DR. BETSY BURLEIGH IS NEXT MUSIC DIRECTOR OF CHORUS PRO MUSICA
May 4, 2009: Chorus pro Musica is proud to announce the appointment of Dr. Betsy Burleigh to be the chorus's fifth Music Director in its sixty year history. Dr. Burleigh will assume her duties at the close of the current season in June. She succeeds Jeffrey Rink, who led the chorus with distinction for 17 years until his departure last fall to accept the Mattie Kelly Distinguished Endowed Teaching Chair in Music and Conducting at Northwest Florida State College and to lead the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra as the symphony's full-time conductor and music director.
Burleigh is Music Director of the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh, a renowned 115-voice chorus founded in 1908 that is the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's chorus of choice, assuming that position from Robert Page in 2006. She is also completing her eleventh season as Assistant Director of Choruses for the Cleveland Orchestra, and is currently Professor and Coordinator of Choral and Vocal Studies at Cleveland State University.

NEW DVD OF CHORUS PRO MUSICA IN WAR REQUIEM
On July 27, 1963 at Tanglewood, Chorus pro Musica sang the US premiere of Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem
with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Erich Leinsdorf. A DVD of that performance has just been released by
Video Artists International, part of a series of BSO telecasts from the late 1950s and early 1960s.
The DVD is reviewed in the March 9 Boston Globe
by David Perkins. Perkins says, “Alfred Nash Patterson’s Chorus pro Musica is well coached and charged up.”
His conclusion: “For years, Britten’s own 1963 Decca recording was the only one on the market. Others have followed, but none, not
even Britten’s, is superior to this.”
There is a clip of this concert on YouTube.
