Musica da Camera
Canberra's Premiere String Orchestra
Musica da Camera plays music from the string orchesta repertoire, from Baroque to Contemporary, sometimes with soloists. The orchestra engages a different conductor for each program, providing diversity of style and content.

Musica da Camera usually presents four programs of string music per year. Generally, each program is presented twice, with a concert in Canberra and a concert in a nearby regional community. We also prepare some programs for special events.
Our next concert program.
We are pleased to announce that our program of "Suites and Dances" will be directed by the much respected exponent of the viola, Robert Harris.
The program profiles the wonderful middle voice of the string ensemble – the viola. Robert will play and lead Telemann ‘Concerto in G’ for two violas and Telemann’s ‘Suite in D’ for solo viola. Other pieces in the program include Skalkottas’ Five Greek Dances, Schubert’s Valse Nobles and dance music by Kats-Chernin.
