Congratulations to all of our young musicians on their Kids’ Camerata debut performance! Our kids played and sang beautiful renditions of Jubilate Deo, La Folia, and Gaudete Christus est natus. Here is a reflection from one of our parents: “Thank you again for such a beautiful production this week. [My child] has been so invested in the Camerata Singers as well and says she can’t wait to do it again next semester. I have been so impressed with their commitment and joy to being a part of something that they’d never heard of before. You found a way to make singing in Middle English and Latin fun for them, and as a parent am so grateful to you for giving them this opportunity.”
