About

MIRYAM is a Boston-based vocal and instrumental ensemble that performs baroque and renaissance settings of Jewish texts. Our objective is to present music that was composed and historically performed in a Christian setting and reinterpret it in a Jewish context, in addition to performing works by Jewish composers and from the Jewish communal tradition.

Our core members include:
Alicia DePaolo and Elise Groves, soprano
Ari Nieh, bass
James Williamson, viola da gamba
Bill Good, theorbo

MIRYAM is a Fractured Atlas sponsored project.
