Camerata Nordica
Saturday, March 1 7:30pm
adults $35 / students $5
This brilliant Swedish ensemble blends the effortless dexterity of a chamber group with the depth of sound reached by a world-class orchestra. The 16-member group performs in a visually impressive standing circle without a conductor (camerata), creating a feast for the eyes and ears. This brightly expressive group, noted for its extraordinary musicianship and unity of voice, is led on the US tour by violin virtuoso Terje Tønneson and is regarded as one of Sweden's leading chamber orchestras. The musicians were selected from the best of Nordic players, who have performed with James Galway, Barbara Bonney, Barbara Hendricks and Barry Tuckwell and many other distinguished artists. Their program will feature pieces by Beethoven, Stenhammar and Carl Nielsen.
