Boston-based conductor Holly Druckman is in demand as a smart, sensitive performer of early and contemporary music, and is quickly gaining recognition as a champion of unjustly overlooked repertoire. In addition to the Camberville Somerchoir, she is the director of the ensembles Cappella Clausura, Carduus, Vox Lucens, Opera51 (Choirmaster) and Nightsong (Co-Director of Beneficia Lucis). Ms. Druckman has also appeared as a guest conductor for the Seraphim Singers, the New England Conservatory, the Commonwealth Chorale, and Odyssey Opera (Choirmaster and Assistant Conductor). In her capacity as an advocate of new music, she has premiered, performed, and recorded music by composers Stratis Minakakis, Ty Bouque, Derek David, Linda Chase, Max Grafe, Jacob Druckman, Tonia Ko, Donnacha Dennehy, and others. Ms. Druckman is a graduate of the New England Conservatory, where she was the 2018 recipient of the Gunther Schuller Prize. More information about Ms. Druckman may be found at druckmanholly.com.
Born and raised in Billerica, Massachusetts, Lorraine has degrees from Cornell University (B.A., Music), and the Zürcher Hochschüle der Künste (M.A., Sacred Music, Specialty Choir Conducting). Her academic work includes the performance practice of Hildegard, Gregorian chant, and other early music. In the summer of 2017, she founded Quorum Boston, an LGBTQ vocal ensemble dedicated to queering the classical music canon and showcasing the work of living, local queer composers. Lorraine was also the founding director of the Longwood Chorus, and has conducted ensembles including Musica Sacra, the Boulder Opera Company, the Lilac Players, and Carduus Choir. She has been the music director for the choir at University Lutheran Church in Harvard Square since 2023. Lorraine has a passion for teaching, from baby and caregiver lap-music classes to K-12 students to putting on musicals with senior citizens. Her philosophy is that every choir, no matter how professional, is a community unto itself and exists for the public good. Outside of music, Lorraine enjoys being an aunt, farming, building things, and hanging out in the woods.
