Teenagers!
Featuring the work of famous composers, written while in their teens, as well as new music from young composers
May 9 & 10, 2025
Did you know that Beethoven, Hildegard von Bingen, Schubert as well as the famous brother/sister combinations of Wolfgang and Maria Anna Mozart and Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn, all began composing music in their childhoods, many of them as teenagers?
In May, 2025, Da Camera Singers will present a concert “Teenagers!” which will celebrate the teenage creative work of some famous composers, and provide an opportunity for some emerging young composers to have their pieces performed by a choir and heard by an audience.
Da Camera has announced a Choral Composition Opportunity for Teenagers. We are calling for original choral works from young composers. We will choose some pieces from the entries, provide the composers the opportunity to workshop their pieces with us, and perform them in our spring concert along with works of Mozart, Schubert, Aleotti, Caccini, Holst, and others.
Da Camera is proud to continue our commitment to commissioning new works and premiering them.
