Summer is a time to relax and enjoy life, agreed. But for a company like ours, it’s also a season of intense work, preparing for the musical events to come, beginning in the fall.
Our roster of superb artists for Camerata’s 2021-22 season is now virtually complete, and we want to share their portraits with you. Individually and together, they will be there, singing and playing repertoire ranging from the European Middle Ages to the historic American spiritual tradition, providing us all with beautiful music and vital life energy during these challenging times. Please come see and hear these exceptional people! We would love to hear from you.
Top row: Anne Azéma, Luke Scott, Camila Parias, Ian Saunders, Allison Monroe
Middle row: Jordan Weatherston Pitts, Craig Juricka, Milton Wright, Mildred Walker, Christa Patton
Bottom row: Dan Hershey, Michael Barrett, Shira Kammen, Deborah Rentz Moore, Joel Cohen
And, as a later-summer gift, here’s a lovely American spiritual, “Something New,” to announce our season full of new things, and to celebrate the renewal of life that comes with programming and casting for the coming months.
Cities, with their energy and dynamism, are central to our 2018-19 productions. This October, see and hear the orange animal Fauvel as he travels to NowhereLand and then to medieval Paris in his funny, chilling quest to rule the universe. Next, celebrate Christmas with us with glowing, sumptuous sounds of the season from Rome, Florence, and Venice. Finally, return home to America, to New England, and to Boston, the shining City on the Hill for so many of our ancestors, and share their songs of hope and their dreams of liberty in a better place. 
Our retelling of the Tristan and Iseult legend using original medieval music and poetry has won numerous awards and toured the globe since its premiere in 1986. Now, Anne Azéma brings this immortal lovers’ tale back to life, directing an all-star cast in Joel Cohen’s powerful scenario.
