Camberville Somerchoir

Duruflé’s Requiem & Mäntyjärvi’s Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae mix ancient styles with modern sounds to explore grief and resilience.

Church of the Covenant

This summer’s program pairs Duruflé’s luminous Requiem with Jaakko Mäntyjärvi’s haunting and exhilarating Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae, which commemorates the 1994 tragedy of the ferry Estonia.  Both composers draw upon ancient texts and tonalities to produce decidedly modern works. Together, they explore grief, hope, memory, and resilience.Our singers have found the process of preparing this music to be deeply personal — from cherished memories of singing at a loved one’s funeral, to the thrill of navigating the lush, unexpected harmonies.  We want to share that intensity with you, because music is crystallized emotion: our stories and yours, meeting in the sound.Whether you’re a long-time choral aficionado, an adventurous listener eager to hear something new, or simply someone open to an evening of beauty that speaks to the heart, you’ll find something here that resonates.Founded post-pandemic by Lorraine Fitzmaurice and Holly Druckman, The Camberville Somerchoir is a fast-paced, audition-level summer project choir based in the Cambridge–Somerville area (“Camberville” to the locals). We bring together experienced choral singers — many with conservatory training or other professional experience — to perform major historical works alongside music by living, local composers.
