Yale Camerata, 2008-2009
Marguerite
L. Brooks, conductor
Associate Professor (Adjunct) of Choral Conducting and Chair of the Program in Choral Conducting, Yale Institute
of Sacred Music and Yale School of Music
Founded in 1985 by its conductor, Marguerite L. Brooks, the Camerata
is a vocal ensemble sponsored by the Yale Institute of Sacred Music.
The group's approximately sixty singers are Yale graduate and undergraduate
students, faculty, staff, and experienced singers from the New Haven
community. The Camerata performs a widely varied spectrum of choral
literature, with a specific commitment to recently composed choral music.
Admission is by audition; singers commit to an active schedule of
rehearsals and performances.
The Camerata has collaborated with the Yale Glee Club, Yale Philharmonia,
Yale Symphony, Yale Band, Yale Chamber Players, Yale Collegium Musicum,
New Haven, Norwalk, and Hartford Symphony Orchestras, and the New Haven Chorale. The ensemble has also performed for Yale Music Spectrum
and New Music New Haven. The Camerata has been heard on Connecticut
Public Radio and national broadcasts of National Public Radio's
program "Performance Today." Guest conductors have included
Robert Shaw, Jaap Schröder, George Guest, Sir David Willcocks,
Krzyzstof Penderecki, Sir Neville Marriner, and Helmuth Rilling. With the Institute of Sacred Music, the
Camerata has commissioned and premiered works of Martin Bresnick,
Daniel Kellogg, Stephen Paulus, Daniel Pinkham, and Ellen Taaffe
Zwilich, among others.
The 2008-2009 season includes a performance of the entire Christmas Oratorio of Johann Sebastian Bach, a joint concert with the Yale Schola Cantorum and Yale Glee Club under the baton of the internationally acclaimed recording artist and conductor Nicholas McGegan, and a Palm Sunday concert including premieres of works by Tawnie Olson (MM '99, AD '00), Stephen Feigenbaum ('11), and others.
