Experience the excitement of Vivaldi's and Handel's concerti for strings, the pulse of Praetorius' dances and lose yourself in the rich beauty of Tchaikovsky's sacred music in a new setting for string ensemble, in this intimate performance for all ages by Camerata Academica of the Antipodes. Praised for their "auditory feast of musical works" by Criticks UK, the Camerata's vibrant performances of music from the 1600s to today have thrilled audiences in Sydney, regional NSW and overseas since 2014. In celebration of Camerata Academica of the Antipodes' 10th anniversary this year this special touring concert is presented by a select ensemble of Camerata soloists. The programme includes selections from Vivaldi's L'Estro Armonico & La Cetra, Handel's Op6 No.5, Praetorius' Terpsichore, Tchaikovsky's sacred music (18 Aug concert, Concord NSW) and music for piano (17 Aug concert, Pymble NSW) by Australian composer Dr Leon Coward whose Chopin-esque style has delighted audiences in Australia and internationally. Formed in 2014 under the direction of musicologist-performer Dr Imogen Coward, it brings together talented multi-instrumentalists, vocalists, performer-researchers and emerging artists. Inspired by the Baroque world of Vivaldi and the 19th Century golden age of violin virtuosi, the Camerata's championing of the tradition of performer as co-creator underpins their vibrant performances of music from the 1600s to today which have delighted audiences in Sydney, regional NSW and overseas.
