Overview
Share in the joy, passion, and love of music with Camerata’s virtuosic opening 2025 concert, featuring Camerata’s very own Artistic Director and leader Brendan Joyce on solo violin for Schumann’s Violin Concerto.
In this concert, Camerata will also “get the band back together”, welcoming our wind, brass, and percussion sections for this spectacular and sublime program of rarely heard musical gems.
With no conductor in sight and a stage full of fine Queensland-based musicians, experience the thrill of 40 musicians uniting as one. From Fanny Mendelssohn’s sparkling concert overture, Schumann’s tender and rarely heard Violin Concerto, and Poulenc’s light and charming Sinfonietta, this concert will be a joy from beginning to end.
As always, join Camerata in the foyer after the concert to meet the musicians and have a chat.
Why would you not attend a performance of the calibre and quality which Camerata so consistently produces??? They are just brilliant!!!
