Attenborough’s Ocean in Concert | Camerata
Ocean with David Attenborough is a powerful documentary film. However, seeing the work on a large screen can have so much more impact--particularly when Steven Price’s incredible score is played live by Camerata. The production offers audiences a memorable experience, and the warm and extended applause is a measure of the skill of the musicians, vocalists and conductor.
Old. New. Borrowed. Blue. | Camerata
Camerata’s Old. New. Borrowed. Blue. is a captivating collaboration with Anthony Romaniuk. Dave Brubeck’s iconic Blue Rondo à la Turk, as reinvented in Romaniuk’s fresh setting for strings and harpsichord, was my favourite piece of the night. Fast, fabulous, and fun, Romaniuk’s arrangement made me smile - playing homage to the jazz original, but drawing classical music and traditional instruments.
Revolution Remixed | Camerata
One of the many reasons to see live music, of any kind, if the to marvel at the artistry and skill of the performers. A definite highlight of the Camerata Revolution Remixed performance was to watch the interactions between the artists, and to see how the musicians bring the composers’ works to life.
