Camerata's first concert of the year, Flights of Fancy, includes works from the Renaissance through the modern period that center on the themes of flight, heaven, and angels. The centerpiece is ?Leonardo Dreams of his Flying Machine? by the wildly popular composer Eric Whitacre. Combining Renaissance and modern compositional styles, this piece will be accompanied by images of Da Vinci?s fantastical designs of his flying machines. Our highly eclectic program also includes selections from Haydn?s The Creation, spirituals by Dawson and DeCormier, an anthem from Lady Diana?s funeral, bluegrass selections accompanied by traditional instruments, a Beatles tune, and more.
