CAMERATA CHORALE The Camerata Chorale of Poughkeepsie, founded in 1963, is a 65 person ensemble comprised of experienced and dedicated singers from more than 20 Hudson Valley communities. Love for classical choral music is the common bond that has formed a circle of friends which includes engineers, educators, lawyers, managers, doctors, librarians, nurses, homemakers and other professional people from all walks of life. After almost half a century of singing together the choir has become multigenerational with members ranging in age from 18 to 70 plus. The group performs two or three concert cycles each season, singing with orchestra, organ or piano and with professional soloists. Under the direction of conductor Lee H. Pritchard, the Camerata Chorale continues to be highly acclaimed by critics and audiences.
