Joel Frederiksen sings the role of Darius, King of Persia in our Play of Daniel. Based in Munich, he’s performed and recorded with internationally recognized groups such as Huelgas Ensemble, Musica fiata, Orlando di Lasso Ensemble, Freiburger Baroque Orchestra, Ensemble Gilles Binchois, Ricercar Ensemble, and many others. EMA says “….with his powerful bass voice, [he] makes a worthy Orpheus.” We are sure he’ll make a worthy Darius, too!

This is the age of total silliness, as a passing glance at many of the current news headlines will reveal. The Case of Mrs. Bach is one such silly example on the cultural/music-historical front. We hope the current commentary in the New Yorker puts it all to rest. We remain, however, on other fronts, strong defenders of musicians named Anna or Anne.

We have just received the following message from Raymond Saint-Jean, director of the documentary film “A Chair Fit For an Angel,” featuring music by The Boston Camerata:

“I am happy to announce that our film has won the Grand Prix Golden Eagle from the Document.Art film festival held in Bucharest, Romania, from October 15. There were fifty films in competition and the jury chose ours as the best!”

That’s a fine honor indeed. We congratulate Ray and the Cine Qua Non Team, Tero Saarinen and his dancers, and our terrific Boston Camerata singers.

We also note that the film was shown recently on Finnish television. Let’s hope American audiences get to view it soon.
