Returning by popular demand, We'll Be There!: American Spirituals, Black and White, 1800-1900 is the most recent in The Boston Camerata's long series of Early American musical productions, drawing on early songbook sources, as well as oral traditions, to tell the story of American spiritual singing, North and South, black and white, during a crucial century of our country's history.  


“The concert title evokes the struggles of the Civil War,” comments Artistic Director Anne Azéma, “but it also stands for the shared musical and spiritual experiences of America's peoples. It also provides a unifying theme for Camerata's ongoing work in these challenging modern times." The program draws extensively on original, nineteenth century printed sources, as well as ongoing oral traditions, juxtaposing in many instances Black and White versions of songs found in both communities.
