CAMERATA SINGERSThe Camerata Singers, founded in 1972 by Dr. Allan Birney, has been an integral part of the Lehigh Valley’s notable arts community and continues to make a significant contribution to the artistic life of the area by providing several quality programs of classical and contemporary choral music each year. The group is especially dedicated to preserving our rich musical heritage with performances that include superior instrumental accompaniment and soloists.
This year, Vincent Trovato and Allan Birney have been sharing conducting and accompanying roles. We are please to announce that Vinny will assume the role of the Camerata Singers' music director when Allan retires at the end of this season. We invite all of our music community to come to our concert on March 26th, at 7:30, to celebrate the illustrious career our founding conductor has had and to celebrate the welcome an passing of the baton to Vinny. Highlights of the choir’s 49 seasons include Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and Mass in B Minor, Haydn’s Creation, Honegger’s Joan of Arc, Vaughan Williams’ A Sea Symphony, Tippett’s A Child of Our Time, and Requiems of Brahms, Mozart, Verdi, Faure, Rutter and Andrew Lloyd Webber. The 2008-2009 season featured an area premiere of Paul McCartney's Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart). The choir rehearses from September through April on Tuesday evenings at First Presbyterian Church, Allentown, PA. |
