Camerata Nordica

Camerata Nordica (formerly Camerata Roman|Sweden) is one of Sweden’s leading chamber orchestras with a distinctive profile in performing as a camerata - an orchestra 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 among Nordic players, and they are always performing standing up.

Camerata Nordica has performed with James Galway, Barbara Bonney, Barbara Hendricks and Barry Tuckwell, among other distinguished artists.

Camerata Nordica celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2004. The orchestra’s intense mode of expression appeals to all kinds of audiences - from the classical concert halls to exultant young people at Sweden’s main rock festival in Hultsfred.

Thanks to its high standard Camerata Nordica tours all over Sweden and has been chosen to represent Sweden abroad, such as the United Kingdom (four times), Germany, Poland, the Baltic States, the USA (six times), Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. The orchestra has recorded extensively, focusing on Scandinavian composers. Since 1993, they have released 14 CD recordings including the great classics. It appears regularly in Swedish televison and radio.

The county of Kalmar, where the orchestra is based, is situated by the Baltic Sea and has a long tradition within arts - here, for example, you find the Kingdom of Crystal, world-famous for its beautiful glass.
