Schubert's Mass in G at Our Lady of Refuge Catholic Church

Long Beach Camerata Singers: Experience an emotional, timeless journey with Schubert's Mass in G.

Before Franz Schubert created the iconic song, "Ave Maria," there was the deeply moving and intimate predecessor, his "Mass in G." Alongside an eight-piece string ensemble and pianist, the Long Beach Camerata Singers will present this timeless classical piece on October 10 & 11. The Oct. 10 performance will feature the all-professional, 14-voice Catalyst Chamber Ensemble while the October 11 performance will feature both Catalyst and Camerata, with over 80 voices. Experience the emotion, hear great art and don't miss the power of live music with "Schubert's Mass in G."

Beloved by music connoisseurs and the general public, The Long Beach Camerata Singers will perform the two concerts of the masterwork, Schubert's Mass in G. The first, on October 10, will feature the 14-voice all-professional Catalyst Chamber Ensemble and the second, on October 11, will feature Catalyst alongside Camerata's largely professional 80-voice chorus. Both concerts will also be accompanied by an eight-string ensemble and piano.

Founded in 1966, the Long Beach Camerata Singers is a choral and music education nonprofit that believes music is a force for peace, and seeks to enrich and transform the lives of performers and local community through excellence in program, innovative programming and arts education.

In performance, Camerata Singers presents two ensembles: the large pro-core 80-voice chorus and the Catalyst Chamber Ensemble, a 14-voice all professional a Capella group. LBCS also currently presents two education programs: the award-winning Camerata Children's Music Academy, which provides foundational vocal music instruction for children ages 3 to 5 through the YMCA and Long Beach City College Child Development Programs; and Peace4Youth, a social justice–oriented music curriculum presented in Long Beach Unified School District middle and high schools.

This season, Camerata celebrates six-decades of continuous operation and their shared 10-year anniversary with Grammy-Award winning conductor and Artistic Director, James K. Bass.
