After a day of meetings in Strasbourg, setting up Camerata’s December tour in eastern France, Artistic Director Anne Azéma found the time to send us this early-evening digital snapshot of the city’s magnificent 13th century Cathedral. Lovely.
Alsatian friends be forewarned, there is some seriously beautiful Camerata music coming your way in a handful of weeks. Soyez attentifs, nous vous tiendrons au courant! Hopla!
In Memory of Pierre Bec
Poitiers, France: There were wonderful tributes this day, Friday, September 12, 2014, in memory of the marvelous Pierre Bec, teacher, scholar, medievalist, poet, and good friend to so many of us. Yes, there were some tears, but also much celebration as we contemplated the richness of his intellectual and personal legacy, and as we shared memories of the many years he lived among us. May his seemingly limitless erudition, his boundless curiosity, and his intense love of life continue to inspire us.

Frans Brueggen Remembered
Frans Brueggen directed The Boston Camerata in the late 1970’s, in one of his first ventures as conductor. He also collaborated as narrator during the first production of “A Renaissance Christmas.” We remember him as a superb musician, and a supremely intelligent and inquisitive human being.

The Music Director Emeritus is pleased…
…to see Camerata in the movies :-) And to have the film win one of the three major festival awards. We had a great time at our annual after party, where we announced the 2014 winners! Thanks to Tasty Burger Harvard Square for sponsoring the event.
