MUSIC

Houston Friends of Music presents the Boston Camerata, Tuesday, December 8, 2009, in Stude Concert Hall on the Rice University campus.

The Boston Camerata preserves and reawakens human memory as expressed through the art of music. It accomplished this mission through live, historically informed, professional performances. Founded in 1954, the Boston Camerata was associated until 1974 with the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

The Camerata began touring overseas in 1974, and has maintained an international presence ever since. The Camerata celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2005 with festive productions in Boston and in Paris. At the latter appearance, director Joel Cohen was decorated by the French government. The performance in our series promises to be especially interesting with holiday works from the Christian, Jewish and Muslim cultures.
