Music in a Great Space Presents the Pittsburgh Camerata
Music in a Great Space, the concert series at Shadyside Presbyterian Church, welcomes the Pittsburgh Camerata, presenting “A Whitman Sampler,” on Sunday, September 29, at 3:00 p.m. Under the direction of Artistic Director Mark A. Anderson, Pittsburgh’s premier professional chamber choir will sing a program comprised of choral settings of the poetry of Walt Whitman. It has been suggested that Walt Whitman’s poetry has been set to music more than that of any other American poet except for Emily Dickinson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Some call Whitman a latter-day successor to Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Shakespeare. Whitman’s poetry celebrates democracy, nature, love, and friendship. Tickets may be purchased online at www.pittsburghcamerata.org or at the door. The church is situated on the corner of Amberson Avenue and Westminster Place, only one block off Fifth Avenue. Free on-street parking is available surrounding the church. The church is wheelchair-accessible.
