Camerata’s residency at MIT was a great success!
Many thanks to Professor Michael Cuthbert, whose research and contributions to the programs were invaluable.
Read what MIT’s The Tech had to say about our two concerts.
With our MIT residency complete, the Camerata prepares for The Sacred Bridge, a fantastic interfaith celebration of music and readings from various scriptures. You won’t want to miss this program in its newest incarnation.
Last weekend’s Portes du Ciel
Last weekend’s performances of Portes du Ciel met with great success at the MIT Chapel and two sold-out shows at the Cloisters in New York! Read the Boston Musical Intelligencer’s review and the Arts at MIT preview.

CAMERATA PREPARES MEDIEVAL RESIDENCY AT MIT
…and this magnificent motet by Johanes Ciconia will be one of the highlights of the March 6 concert on MIT campus, featuring French and Italian masterworks of the 14th and 15th centuries. Find out more at here. See you there?
CAMERATA MUSICIAN SERENADES MILLIONS…
From the first time that violinist Ben Powell touched bow to string in a Camerata concert (if memory serves, it was at the Rocky Hill Meeting House in Amesbury, Ma.), we knew he had the right stuff! Well, now the rest of the nation can find out, too, thanks to the most recent episode of “Two and a Half Men.”
To celebrate Ben’s TV début, and Valentine’s day in general, we will offer a FREE download of a Camerata album to the first person who correctly identifies the composer of the tune Ben is playing on this clip. Hint: it’s not Machaut. On your marks…
The Sacred Bridge: Jews, Christians and Muslims in Medieval Europe
Back by popular demand! The Sacred Bridge is an interfaith celebration unlike any other. Discover with us the common musical roots of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, and the astonishing and beautiful interactions among these traditions. Our program includes elements of Jewish liturgy, Gregorian and Koranic chant, songs and texts of Jewish minstrels, Sephardic folksong, medieval Spanish Cantigas, and Judaeo-Islamic music from the ancient Andalusian tradition. We are joined by Sharq Arabic Music Ensemble.
March 29th, 3:00pm, Pickman Concert Hall, Cambridge, MA
BOSTON GETS THE PRIZE!
Congratulations to all the Camerata friends and collaborators, present and past, who shared in the classical Grammy award last night. To cite the eminent troubadour Cole Porter, you’re the top!
