The Pittsburgh Camerata will sing a concert with a distinctly American flair; music about America, music written by American stars of all stripes. The professional vocal ensemble welcomes special guest The Pittsburgh Girls Choir.

Artistic Director Mark Anderson knows that Americans love to sing, love to listen to singing and love our country. He has programmed a concert that celebrates American composers and American poets. In addition to American spirituals and folk songs, the Camerata will sing two settings of How Can I Keep from Singing, the famous hymn by American Robert Wadsworth Lowry, two selections from The Tender Land by American composer Aaron Copland, Have Ye Not Known & Ye Shall Have A Song from The Peaceable Kingdom by American composer Randall Thompson, who was inspired by American painter Edward Hicks’ work, and A Clear Midnight, poem by Walt Whitman and music by American Ezra Donner.
