s we present our 18th subscription season, Texas Camerata is proud to continue our tradition of presenting unparalleled historical performances featuring the rich and varied repertoire of the Baroque and Classical periods. The 2008-09 series opens with a dazzling concert of music for the Baroque violin. Internationally renowned violinist Cynthia Roberts will be joined by Texas Camerata Artistic Director Kristin Van Cleve, and other baroque violinists from the Dallas- Fort Worth area for a program of compelling and exciting music for strings. We continue the season with a concert of Baroque cantatas (featuring BWV 9 & 77 by Bach) that includes a brilliant array of guest vocalists: Camille King, soprano, Scot Cameron, alto, Derek Chester, tenor and Burr Phillips, bass. Don't miss our January 2009 concert celebrating the life of Henry Purcell and featuring the gifted countertenor Ryland Angel, followed by a program of French and French-inspired music in April, including Michel Corrette's "Le Phenix," a concerto for 3 bassoons!

From the monumental compositions of Bach and Handel to the intimate chamber works of composers such as Couperin and Rameau, each concert invites you to experience beautiful music on period instruments, with the aesthetic the composers themselves intended.
