On October 22, 2024, the Pittsburgh Camerata marked its 50th anniversary with an unforgettable evening of music, memories, and community at the elegant Pittsburgh Golf Club. This milestone celebration honored the ensemble’s half-century legacy of bringing exceptional choral music to the region while looking forward to an inspiring future.

The evening’s program was graced by Jim Cunningham, the beloved voice of WQED 89.3 FM, who served as the emcee, bringing warmth and wit to the occasion. Guests were treated to live performances by the musicians of the Pittsburgh Camerata, featuring special arrangements from the Mister Rogers Songbook—a heartfelt tribute to Pittsburgh’s cultural heritage and a nod to the values of kindness and neighborliness championed by Fred Rogers.

Adding to the evening’s delight was the presence of David Newell, widely known for his role as Mr. McFeely on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, as well as John Rogers, the son of Fred Rogers. Their participation brought nostalgic joy and a profound sense of connection to the legacy of Mister Rogers, which continues to resonate across generations.

The celebration was made possible through the generous support of the McFeely-Rogers Foundation and the Pittsburgh Golf Club, whose contributions helped create an atmosphere of elegance and camaraderie for all in attendance.

As the Pittsburgh Camerata reflects on five decades of artistry and innovation, this golden anniversary underscores its enduring commitment to excellence in choral music. Here’s to the next fifty years of music that inspires, connects, and uplifts our community.

As dusk dissolves into evening, a magical moment occurs, a moment that inspires the imagination and conjures up fascinating visions of frivolity. To celebrate this magical moment, please join the Pittsburgh Camerata on October 28 at the Pittsburgh Golf Club for “Camerata Cabaret: It’s a Grand Night for Singing!”

The evening will begin at 5:30 p.m., where you will enjoy luscious libations, delicious delicacies, and the vocal stylings of the Pittsburgh Camarata. Musical selections will include Broadway favorites, classic cabaret tunes, and more! An event not to be missed!
