Description

Enjoy the baroque brilliance of Vivaldi and Purcell through to the 19th century flair of Tivadar Nachez and beyond in a celebration of the changing seasons from Spring to Christmas.

 

Dubbed musically combustible for their vibrant performances (Criticks UK), the Camerata's Baroque Reborn features* the vibrant Vivaldi Four Seasons: Spring and L’estro Armonico: Concerto for Four Violins alongside selections from his majestic Gloria and Christmas concerto Il Riposo. Shakespeare-inspired works including the beautiful duet and chorus from Purcell Tempest and a new setting of Ophelia’s Song by Camerata director Imogen Coward come together with seasonal vocal gems from across the centuries. The Camerata's love of dance music and championing performer-creators comes to the fore in the virtuosic Nachez Gypsy Dances.

 

Directed by musicologist-performer Dr Imogen Coward, Baroque Reborn features the Camerata ensemble with soloists Taliesin Coward, Christopher Porteous, Jeremy Tan, Joanna Lun, Leon Coward (violins), Sophia Clark and Justin Shenouda (cellos), and soprano Ngaire Kirwan, whose previous appearances as soloist/chorister include with the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, Joubert Singers, Vox, Polyphony and the Welsh choir Cantorion. 

 

Reflecting the Camerata’s and guest artists’ ethos of supporting music making for youth in Australia, profits from this concert will support the work of the Australian Children’s Music Foundation.

Camerata Academica of the Antipodes

Camerata Academica of the Antipodes is renowned for its thrilling musical performances and engaging blend of virtuosic flair and historical inspiration.

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. 

Putting the academic into "academica", in addition to several PhDs and research Masters among the ensemble, the Camerata's creative team featured in the recent AUSTA Golden Jubilee Conference of leading String experts from Australia, UK and the USA, hosted by the Sydney Conservatorium of Music (University of Sydney) in 2025, and also the UK Performance Studies Network conference, the biennial gathering of the leading music performer-researchers from around the world, hosted in 2022 by the University of Surrey UK. During 2020-2022 the ensemble embarked on recording a new album of historical curios and contemporary delights, with one of the resulting albums Baroque and Beyond released in December 2023.
