Camerata Musica 2011/12 Season:
The Kohn Concerts
Camerata Musica was founded in 2006 as an initiative by Peterhouse, the oldest of the Cambridge colleges, to bring new audiences to classical music; and, in particular, to afford the undergraduate and graduate students of Cambridge the opportunity to hear some of the greatest masterpieces of the Western musical canon in performances by its finest interpreters.
The forthcoming 2011/12 Camerata Musica season includes the premiere of a new work for string quartet by James Macmillan, which will be attended by the composer; recitals by the pianists Menahem Pressler (formerly the lynchpin of the Beaux Arts Trio), and Simon Trpčeski; a concert by the countertenor Lawrence Zazzo, fresh from his triumphs at the New York Metropolitan Opera (where he sang the title role in Handel’s Giulio Cesare); and the inauguration of a new Beethoven string quartet cycle, which will carry over into the 2012/13 Season, from the Belcea Quartet – one of the world’s finest chamber ensembles.
Camerata Musica is delighted to announce the artists who will be performing in its 2011/12 season:
