Founded in 1985, Camerata is a choral ensemble of approximately 70 voices with a special
commitment to new choral music. Its membership consists of Yale students, faculty, and staff,
as well as experienced singers from the greater New Haven area. It is led by Yale Associate
Professor of Choral Conducting, Dr. Felicia Barber.
Camerata rehearses on Tuesday evenings, 7:30pm–10pm, in Hendrie Hall on Yale campus,
and has 3–4 concert performances each academic year. Spring 2023 performances include the
Three Choirs concert with Yale Schola Cantorum, Yale Glee Club, and guest conductor Craig
Hella Johnson, as well as Camerata’s Spring concert, To Sit and To Dream: a program that
centers around various settings of poems by Langston Hughes by Rosephanye Powell Joel
Thompson, and William Averitt.
