“Camerata Nordica gives the impression that it is better to listen to the classics performed by a smaller number of players than by large orchestras. Camerata rises above other chamber groups by sinking deeper into our soul.”  (GUIA, São Paulo, Brazil)

THE ARTISTS

The ensemble places great importance on engaging and inspiring young audiences, actively developing projects tailored to their needs.
