Portland Ovations is bringing Boston Camerata’s “Free America” program to Maine as part of the bicentennial celebration, and in conjunction with the ongoing Seeking Resonance series of performances inspired by religious/spiritual life. Long considered America’s preeminent early music ensemble, the Camerata is known for its unique blend of spontaneity and emotional commitment, with careful research and scholarship, resulting in vital, historically informed performances of early American music, sacred and secular. The project will include an open rehearsal with the Camerata and a local choir; a pre-performance lecture by Brother Arnold, one of two remaining Shakers; and a Q&A with the artists.
