THE BOSTON CAMERATA is pleased to offer four Joyce’s Choices followers A CHANCE TO WIN 2 tickets each to see their holiday concerts in Boston, Newburyport, Lexington, Brookline or Cambridge!

December 7-17, 2018!

 The Boston Camerata, America’s preeminent early music ensemble, brings two celebratory programs to Boston this holiday season: Puer Natus Est: A Medieval Christmas and the premiere of a new program, Gloria! An Italian Christmas. The performances bring intimacy and warmth to songs from France, Italy, and England with joyful songs devoted to the Nativity and from the golden age of Venice.

Puer Natus Est is an intimate candlelit glimpse of Christmas spirituality from Medieval France, Italy, England, and Provence. Music of the church and songs of private devotion around the joyous theme of the Nativity are performed by women’s voices, medieval harp, vielle, and winds. Included are songs to the Virgin Mary, hymns, processionals from Saint Martial of Limoges, and miracle ballads sung in Latin, Old French, Old Provençal, and Saxon, interlaced with Medieval English texts.

December 7 at 8pm – Hancock Church, Lexington, MA

Gloria! An Italian Christmas brings a joyful celebration of the season, with virtuoso voices and instruments performing magnificent Italian works of the Renaissance and early Baroque. Music ranging from intimate simplicity to sumptuous splendor including sacred songs of devotion, instrumental fantasias, and resplendent choral masterpieces of Venice’s Golden Age. A Camerata premiere not be missed!
