“BORROWED LIGHT” TOUR ABOUT TO GET UNDERWAY
“Borrowed Light,” the world-reknowned music-and-dance production based on Shaker music, is about to have its première performances in Paris, France.
Under Anne Azéma’s direction, The Boston Camerata is preparing to collaborate once again with the Tero Saarinen Dance Company of Helsinki, Finland, for a series of March performances in Europe. Choreographed by Saarinen and sung live by Camerata musicians, “Borrowed Light” has now had over seventy appearances in Europe, North America, and Australasia, but has never until now played in the City of Lights.
“We are thrilled at the Paris invitation,” comments Azéma. “It’s happening in one of Europe’s most important performance halls, the Palais de Chaillot, and it’s a joy to be singing and dancing there.”
The tour begins on March 5 with two shows in Finland, before moving to the Paris venue.

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!
