AVOID THE LINES! SUBSCRIBE NOW!

“On the eve of Easter, several dozen would-be listeners took numbers and waited in a line outside the sold-out St. John’s Chapel of the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge in hopes of snagging a ticket for work first heard about 650 years ago. ”

That’s how the Boston Musical Intelligencer described the scene at Camerata’s final season concert, last March.

But take heart! You can easily avoid being left out in the cold next season! And you can even save money in the process! All you need to do is to subscribe now to Camerata’s 2013-2014 intown season. You’ll get preferred seating, a discounted price, love from all of us, and, of course, the most beautiful early music this side of the pearly gates.

The Monday after the Machaut show, part of our Borrowed Light crew went to the Futura Studios in Roslindale, to record a movie sound track.  The soon-to-be-released film relates to our work with the Saarinen Dance Company. The Canadian production team (Raymond St Jean, director and Michel Ouelette) were with us  at Futura, as well as our Finnish colleagues Tero Saarinen and Iiris Autio, who flew in from Helsinki.

We saw wonderful images on the screen as we generated the musical track; can’t wait to see the final product! More news soon…

It’s true, the crowd of people with numbers in their hands,  waiting in line to hear our Cambridge concert resembled Zabar’s on Sunday morning….but we understand that everyone who waited was eventually seated.

Steven Ledbetter, former Boston Symphony Orchestra annotator, and critic for the Boston Musical Intelligencer, wrote:  “We heard superb musicians, among the most highly regarded in this repertory in the worldwide company of early music performers. Technical issues were handled with aplomb, giving the impression that they have sung this music from birth… To hear a work of such historic significance and power in a complete liturgical setting … on the night before Easter, performed with such complete mastery of the materials and the style made for a thrilling sense of artistic time travel, a fact recognized by the enthusiastic standing ovation from the packed house. “

Another attendee blogged: “My wife and I were in tears so taken were we by Camerata’s thoughtful planning–the chapel, the singers, the music heard “

What a privilege for us,  Camerata musicians, board,  and staff, to share this incredible music with our Amherst and Cambridge audiences!
