Camerata California plays for a St. Luke's evensong
Camerata California, an early music ensemble, performs a 45-minute concert of seasonal vocal and instrumental music, following the 4 p.m. evensong service on Dec. 3, at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, 20 University Ave. in Los Gatos.
The South Bay-based group was invited back to St. Luke's in response to audience enthusiasm after its March performance. The upcoming concert features 14th century sacred music in Latin and English, honoring the Virgin Mary; 15th century German festive songs and dances; and the 16th century "Christmas Cry" of London that incorporates the calls of street vendors of the time. The performers will also talk about their music and instruments between the musical numbers.
Everyone is welcome at evensong. There is no charge for the concerts, but a freewill offering will be accepted. For more information, call 408.354.2195.
