Evening of Song

After a season of serious choral singing, with works ranging from Handel’s Messiah to Ola Gjielo to a newly commissioned piece of music, Long Beach Camerata Singers’ upcoming Evening of Song Concert and Fundraiser promises to be nothing but fun! The concert’s theme is The Great American Songbook and the program has been curated with such composers as Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, and Cole Porter at its center. These American Classics were born of the post-World War 2 economic boom, a time of hope, change and progress. The concert will feature solos, duets and choruses – and even a brass band – in a musical program accompanied by spontaneous theater and plenty of improvisation. The acclaimed Randy Gordon will serve as Master of Ceremonies of this event. Ticket purchases and further information may be found on the organization’s website at http://www.longbeachcameratasingers.org. May 22nd, 2022: Beverly O’Neill Theater, 5:30PM Composers of the Great American Songbook have captured an iconic period in our history, one of vast open horizons; one full of possibility. Featuring piano and a brass band, the Long Beach Camerata Singers will present some of the most famous works from this outstanding genre, including Cole Porter and Oscar Hammerstein’s “All the Things You Are” and Johnny Mercer’s ‘Something’s Gotta Give”.
