The Boston Camerata is excited to offer two holiday programs this December!
Sing We Noel: Christmas Music from England and Early America (December 4-7)
A much-loved Camerata holiday program returns two generations later! We celebrate Christmas in the English-speaking world down through the centuries, with wonderful songs and carols from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance to early America. While most music presented here is "art" music — transcribed from old manuscripts and prints — the means of expression are generally direct and simple, with a strong folk and popular vein. Camerata’s top soloists, voices and instruments, offer a unique experience at year’s end. Get into the holiday spirit with “Edi be the hevene quene“!

The Midnight Cry: An American Christmas (December 21)
Full of joy and delightful discovery, this holiday program revisits Camerata’s most popular Christmas offering. It features songs, hymns, New England anthems, and carols from the early years of the American republic. Drawn from a wide range of early tune books and manuscripts, this magnificent Christmas repertoire, our very own, is performed by an ensemble of superb vocal soloists and instrumentalists, under the direction of Anne Azéma.
Sneak a preview of this program with Camerata’s performance of “Boston” by William Billings (1746-1800) on Vimeo.
