Bach on the Horizon

So you want to see a Grammy award winning singer perform in real life? Well, you’ve come to the right place.

Mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor is joining The Horizon Chamber Choir & Players to perform a program of cantatas and motets by J.S. Bach fit for a King. And we promise you’ll love it.

The Horizon Chamber Choir was founded in 2010, and it has quickly established itself as one of Los Angeles’ premier vocal ensembles. Members of the group perform regularly with amazing choirs such as LA Master Chorale and Pacific Chorale. Pretty impressive.

So now that you’re all excited about the performers, you’re probably wondering what’s on the program. The group will perform several pieces by Bach, including Komm, Jesu, Komm, Der Herr denket an uns, and more.

We hope to see you April 6 for a fabulous concert! It will be so good, we’re pretty sure you’ll be Bach to see the last concert of the festival.

The performance will be held at Belmont Heights United Methodist Church in Long Beach. For tickets, visit www.longbeachcameratasingers.org. 

Camerata's Counterpart

This weekend, Camerata will be joined by the many angelic voices of the South Bay Children’s Choir for the Evensong concert. Not only will the children’s choir add another gorgeous dimension to the concert, they will also add a whole lot of cute.

SBCC is comprised of about 120 singers, and they are known for their beautiful tone and expressive singing. Founded in 1996, the choir has been wooing audiences under the artistic direction of Diane Simons for over a decade. The group has performed all over the world, including in Carnegie Hall and The Canterbury Cathedral. Quite an impressive resume for so many little ones!

Children involved in SBCC not only get experience singing, they also learn how to read music, sing in different languages, and practice a little music theory. They are given the tools to be great musicians right off that bat.

Camerata is ecstatic to be sharing the stage with SBCC for not one, but two performances this weekend. This is a collaboration you won’t want to miss!
