Dona Nobis Pacem, a cantata written by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1936, is a plea for peace recalling the memory of World War I amid growing fears of World War II. The texts are taken from the Latin Mass, poems by Walt Whitman, a political speech, and Biblical quotations.

The Camerata brings this beautiful and moving work to downtown DC with soloists Rosa Lamoreaux, soprano and Christopher Edwards, baritone, members of the celebrated Washington Symphonic Brass, The Virginia Glee Club of the University of Virginia, and Chris Betts, organist.

The Washington Men’s Camerata fills a significant gap in Washington’s musical life – a gap we hardly noticed until the Camerata’s uniquely selected and superbly performed programs began to show us what we had been missing.

The Washington Post

The Washington Men’s Camerata is predictably outstanding . . . their tone is wonderfully produced, balanced and blended, their diction clear and expressive, their ensemble singing flawless.

The Washington Men’s Camerata under Conductor Frank Albinder has a sound all its own – warm sensual, immaculately balanced, scrupulously tuned, melon sweet, athletically limber.
