Our farflung correspondents on the other coast tell us that Camerata’s first international tour of 2012 went very well, with capacity audiences and standing ovations in both Vancouver and Seattle, Washington. Anne’s magical program of song and storytelling around Alexander the Great was beautifully performed at both venues by our own soloists, in collaboration with Mehmet Sanlikol’s Dünya ensemble: “a hypnotic and fascinating evening of music” (music blog SunBreak.)

Next, Anne heads to Eugene, Oregon to teach classes and prepare a student version of The Knight’s Tale. Back in Boston, we’re gearing up for a weeklong sumer residency at the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. And the beat goes on.
