For your seasonal nourishment this year, try Pacifc Camerata’s "holiday sampler" program, with a little bit of everything from Medieval to early Baroque. Hear a chant by Hildegard von Bingen, Ave Marias by both Robert Parsons and Francisco Guerrero, a beautiful setting of Joseph lieber, Joseph mein by Michael Praetorius, several Spanish villancicos, an Epiphany motet by Jacobus Clemens non Papa, plus other works by William Byrd, John Dunstable and Andrea Gabrieli. This beautiful a capella music is the perfect antidote to the heavy serving of commercialism and treacle felt by many at this time of year. So come and partake -- better yet, treat a friend to this banquet of sound!

One of San Diego’s premier choral ensembles, Pacific Camerata has been performing a wide variety of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music in venues throughout San Diego since 1994, including appearances with the internationally known Irish group The Chieftans and on the San Diego Symphony program, "Viva Italia." Commentary about the music and the background of this program will be given along with the music.
