Thank you, Scott Allen Jarrett, for 18 years of musical partnership!
After 18 years of artistic leadership the Back Bay Chorale is sad to have to say goodbye to Scott
Allen Jarrett. Last week the Board of Directors accepted Jarrett’s decision not to return as Artistic
Director of the Back Bay Chorale for the 2022-23 season.
“On behalf of the Board of Directors, singers, and staff, I thank Scott Allen Jarrett for his service
and leadership. The Back Bay Chorale has seen great transformation since his appointment as
Music Director in 2004,” said Michael Baum, President of the Board. “We salute Scott’s many
contributions to our Chorale community over his long tenure as Artistic Director. The Board of
Directors extends him the Chorale’s best wishes in the next stage of his career, while offering
our deepest gratitude for many years of inspired artistic collaboration. We wish him all the best
in his future endeavors”.
“I could not be prouder of my tenure with the Chorale marked by the significant musical and
organizational milestones achieved together,” said Jarrett. “Most importantly, I cherish the
relationships and friendships forged by our music and work together over the past 18 years. It
has been a privilege to work with this amazing group of people.”
The Board of Directors is currently interviewing guest conductors to lead the BBC during the
2022-23 season. The search for a permanent Music Director will begin in the fall of 2022.
