Camerata Sweden is Sweden's leading chamber orchestra. It has a distinctive profile in performnig as a camerata without a conductor. Its artistic unity is created collectively on the basis of mutual sensitivity and deeply felt musical intentions. The musicians are selected from the best of Scandinavian players.
Camerata Sweden celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1999. In Sweden, the ensemble is known as Camerata Roman, in honor of Johan Helmich Roman (1694-1758), “Father of Swedish Music,” who lived not far from the orchestra's residence in South-East Sweden.
Under the leadership of its Music Director Levon Chilingirian and Associate Director Terje Tønnesen, Camerata Sweden has released 11 CD recordings since 1993.
The audience is invited to join the artists at a reception following the performance.
