CAMERATA MEDITERRANEA EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS
2009-2010 SEASON
In the autumn of 2008, Camerata Mediterranea, directed by Joel Cohen, launched its program of musical offerings and encounters.
Schools, universities, religious groups, and other associations can choose from a menu of live events, featuring lecture-discussions, accompanied by musical performances, around the themes of shared musical roots and cultural exchange in the Mediterranean world.
Topics available in 2009-2010:
*The Three Religions and their music in Medieval Spain
*What is Andalusian in Arabo-Andalusian music?
*The Virgin Mary in medieval Spanish song
*The roots of Sephardic music
Each of these topics can be adapted to the needs and interests of specific audiences: student or adult, music lover or general public, religious or secular.
The format will be relaxed and informal, leaving space for audience questions and participation.
The intent of these events is to inform and educate, but also to entertain with compelling and beautiful musical examples in live performance.
Availabilities:
January-February-March 2009 (North America/Europe)
Size of participating ensemble:
One to four, depending on subject and calendar
Length of presentation:
Approximately one hour. Longer sessions, including intensive study and teaching/coaching sessions, are possible.

"The first step of the 2008-2009
season is to increase and diffuse knowledge.
This done, we can put the knowledge
to work intelligently."
Camerata Mediterranea is prepared to
function as an international
production unit.
Activities to be organized may include:
- Colloquia (duration from a week to several
weeks) reuniting recognized scholar-
specialists and professional musicians.
- On-campus workshops and seminars coordinated to university/high school curricula.
- Teaching semesters or mini-semesters.
- Language and poetry study sessions.
- Scholarships for proven professionals
to study firsthand outside their field.
