Organ Performance
Donald Teeters has been music director and conductor of the Boston Cecilia chorus since 1968. Under his direction, the Cecilia—founded in 1876 and one of America's most venerable performing arts institutions—has performed baroque works by Handel and Bach, and new works by Boston composers. He was the first choral conductor in Boston to employ period instruments, including the first American period performance of Bach’s St. John Passion in 1981, placing him at the vanguard of what would become one of America’s foremost cities for historical performance. From 1971 to 2002, Teeters taught on NEC's organ faculty.
