Dear Camerata Friends,

I’d like to invite you to an important, and free, humanitarian concert at Harvard’s Memorial Church, on Saturday afternoon, March 9. Some of Boston’s finest musicians (including several sterling Camerata soloists) will be joining together to raise funds for children and families currently in difficulty at the U.S.-Mexican border. I hope you agree with me, and my musician colleagues, that this is a very important cause.

We will be playing our hearts out for these kids and their parents, and we will also be requesting donations from members of the audience. All proceeds will go to the Cambridge Legal Defense Fund for Immigrants and the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES).

Can I convince you to attend? We in the Boston musical community cannot solve all the world’s problems, but if we work together, musicians and public alike, we can indeed make a genuine difference in the lives of some real, precious human beings. Please join us on March 9, 3:00 P.M., at Memorial Church, Harvard, in music, solidarity, and hope!

Joel

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.

Anne and the Camerata proudly present our 64th consecutive season of extraordinary music. Please join us on the Grand Tour!
