The Boston Camerata, founded in 1954, was for many years the performing extension of the Collection of Musical Instruments at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Since 1968 the ensemble has been directed by Joel Cohen. In addition to its numerous performances and radio and television appearances in the United States, the Camerata functions during the summer months as a school at Cordes, France. In 197S the ensemble toured Europe under the auspices of the French National Radio and the Festival de Musique Anncienne at Saintes. The Camerata, since 1975, has made its home at Jordan Hall, the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. Tonight's concert is part of the ensemble's first tour of the Midwest.
Music from Old and New England includes music from Elizabethan times to the present, with an emphasis on how American music evolved and developed out of European beginnings. The music, both sacred and secular, comes from two very popular Camerata programs, "Elizabethan Entertainments" and "The Roots of American Music."
