Austin Camerata

Since its founding in 2016, Austin Camerata has emerged as an ensemble leading the way in innovative chamber music performances in central Texas. Hailed for its “unadulterated beauty” (Austin 360), Austin Camerata was nominated for “Best Classical Ensemble” by the 2018 Austin Critics Table and recently completed its third annual chamber music festival.

Dedicated to broadening the audience for chamber music in Austin, Texas, Austin Camerata performs an array of repertoire, from the most revered classical masterpieces to newly written, genre-defying works. The ensemble is known for creative artistic collaborations that augment the music’s emotional power, and performances frequently feature collaborations of choreography, visual art, creative writing, and dance ranging in style from flamenco, to hip-hop, to ballet.

Austin Camerata is dedicated to performing for underserved audiences, and the ensemble brings innovative programs of music and storytelling to local schools, retirement centers, and Dell Children’s Hospital. In addition, the ensemble has made it a mission to make chamber music more visible to the public and brings free concerts to spaces like the Austin Public Library, Texas State Capitol, the Blanton Museum of Art, and 4th Tap Brewery.
