I attended the Brookline Chorus performance on November 20th entitled "Motets & Chansons." I was…read moreflabbergasted at the $25 ticket price; I've never attended a choral performance where tickets were that expensive, particularly when one can attend free performances by the New England Conservatory at Jordan Hall. Additionally, up to the day of the performance, the "buy tickets" link on the Brookline Chorus site was surreptitiously hidden, giving the impression the concert was free (until we arrived and saw ticket prices tacked to a sign outside the church). Anyway, rip-off pricing aside, the concert was a collection of traditional madrigals with some contemporary pieces thrown in. It was a rather dull selection, with little variation or energy, and there was an irritating amount of unnecessary narration between songs. Nonetheless, there were some amazing voices amongst the group, and the members are undoubtedly very talented. I only wish they'd had a better repertoire for this concert.

Because of the sheer openness and shape of the space are acoustics are solid. The pulpit was converted into a sizeable stage with a broad audience area where the pews once were. There's also excellent views from the expansive two tiered balcony. When I first visited for Soul Revival in 2001 (a now defunct deep house party) the ceiling was painted midnight blue with stars, and people came together once a month to relive the reverence of its foundation through movement and sound. It was consistently one of the most beautiful experiences of my lifetime. Keepin' Jeebus proud, folks. I only wish they kept the organ.
