The first Camarata was a group of early Italians, who gathered for the development of their musical knowledge at the home of Count Bardi, where they discussed current operas and musical scores. The Camarata Club of Georgian Court seeks to foster an appreciation of better music, and to awaken an interest in the various instruments and composers. Anyone with a genuine love for music may join. Meetings are held once a month under the able guidance of Sister M. Beatrice, club moderator. There is a planned program for each session which introduces the novice to all phases of music, while talented members are given an opportunity to display their artistic ability and knowledge. Outside activities of the club include attending the opera and concerts, and sponsoring the annual recital of the instrumental and voice department. Officers for the current year are Patricia D Elia, pres- ident; Patricia Kiernan, vice president; Mary Geis, secre- tary; and Jean Drummond, treasurer.
