Join the Washington Men's Camerata for another season featuring the rich tradition of male choral singing at its finest. If you're a singer and you'd like to join us, check out the audition information below. If you're part of our dedicated audience, mark your calendars now for what promises to be another memorable season of music-making.
Our next concert will be on Sunday, April 6, 2008, when we'll present "I Have Had Singing," featuring music about singing itself. There'll be songs by Vaughan Williams, Tormis, Grieg and more. You're guaranteed to leave with a song in your heart!
On Wednesday, April 23rd, we'll be singing at Strathmore Hall in Bethesda as guests on the annual musical evening of students from The Heights School in Potomac. The evening's program is titled "A Soldier's Serenade," and we'll be singing a few songs on our own as well as some selections with The Heights Men's Chorus. You can get information on tickets here.
And on June 14th in the Terrace Theatre at the Kennedy Center, we'll peform Songs of the Sea, in a program that includes old favorites like "What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor?" along with sea chanties, pirate songs and hornpipes to satisfy the inner sailor in all of us. We'll be joined by the Annandale High School Men's Chorale and their conductor, Carleen Dixon. For ticket information, click the link to the left. We hope to see you at all of our concerts for what promises to be a wonderful season of men's voices raised in song!
In June, the Camerata completed recording sessions for its next compact disc, volume two of Classics for Men's Chorus. The disc will be released by Gothic Records in the spring of 2009.
