The Halifax Camerata Singers is a Canadian chamber choir of 26 to 30 singers. Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the Halifax Camerata is one of the area's many chamber ensembles. In 2010, the choir won the biennial Canadian Broadcasting Corporation National Competition for Canadian Amateur Choirs in the chamber choir category, as well as the Healey Willan Prize for best overall performance.
The choir was founded in 1986 by current artistic director Jeff Joudrey. It performs in concerts throughout Nova Scotia, and forms the core of the Symphony Nova Scotia chorus.
Famous quotes containing the word singers:
“O you singers solitary, singing by yourself, projecting me,
O solitary me listening, never more shall I cease perpetuating you
Never more shall I escape, never more the reverberations,
Never more the cries of unsatisfied love be absent from me,
Never again leave me to be the peaceful child I was before what
there in the night,
By the sea under the yellow and sagging moon,
The messenger there aroused, the fire, the sweet hell within,
The unknown want, the destiny of me.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
