A review of “French Christmas” from…
this morning’s Boston Globe:
Vivid ‘French Christmas’ from Boston Camerata
CAMBRIDGE – “The interesting thing about Christmas,” said artistic director Anne Azéma during the Boston Camerata’s Thursday concert, “is that things mix.” This is true in ways both obvious and obscure. Musical styles mix, of course, and no local group has better revealed the diverse styles and genres…

Congratulations to Boston Camerata musicians for a superb Friday concert in Lexington, and apologies to some in the sellout crowd for some necessary squeezing and reshuffling. We wanted everyone who showed up to hear the concert, and we hope you loved the music!
And now onward to Newbury, MA tonight, and to Schenectady, N.Y. on Sunday.

THE CAMERATA GOOD SAMARITAN AWARD FOR 2013…
…goes to dear friends Tesair and John of North Cambridge, who sheltered and nourished two wayward Camerata musicians, stranded by the now-famous Commute from Hell of December 17, and unable to return home after rehearsals. (One of us finally made it home, but needed a tow after two hours in the Ted Williams tunnel…)
The good news is, the entire cast of “A French Christmas” is now comfortably post-snowstorm-trauma, and ready to give you all a magnificent, luminous musical experience over the next four nights. Here, once again, is the local schedule. A few good seats still remain. See you there!

ARE YOU COMING TO “A FRENCH CHRISTMAS”?
If so, here is a headstart on our annual audience sing-along. We recommend practicing it in _la douche_, a.k.a. the shower.
And if you won’t be there, well, here is a little Christmas carol present, with our compliments :-)
