Daniel - A Medieval Masterpiece Revisited
 
Friday, Nov. 21 at 7:30pm
Sunday, Nov. 23 at 3pm
Trinity Church in Copley Square

This powerful medieval mystery play makes the biblical story of the young Daniel taken into captivity, as relevant in today's world as when it was composed eight centuries ago in Beauvais, France.  Our ambitious production combines old and new, bringing together music and movement, theater and liturgy, light and shadow to make the story come alive. With tenor Jordan Pitts as Daniel, the Trinity Choristers directed by Richard Webster, and graduate students from the Longy School of Music of Bard College.

The nominating committee is seeking to fill two positions from our supporters. We would like to find someone who has knowledge of or experience with management, business, and or finances. The Board meets monthly in the evening (meetings are generally two hours) and members are expected to sit on a committee and make a contribution to our annual appeal.

Our Mission: The Boston Camerata preserves and reawakens human memory as expressed by the art of music. It accomplishes this mission through live, historically informed, professional performances of early and  later music, both European and American, through study and research into musical sources of the past, through sound recordings and media projects, and through musical education and outreach.

Support the Camerata

Mounting The Play of Daniel requires a special level of support. Initial preparation for this stunning production has involved extensive research, and there will be a large cast (including a brilliant young singing actor as the Prophet), special lighting, movement, and drama. Friends of the Camerata have been generous so far, but we still need your help to bring Anne Az�ma's vision to fruition and to make Daniel everything it can be! You can donate online anytime through our secure site. We thank you deeply for your generous contributions.
