Musical Meditations. Breathe. Relax. Sleep.

Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1987 by acclaimed string educator Elizabeth Morgan AM, as an idealistic ensemble of emerging Artists which she then formed into a professional chamber orchestra in 2005. Performing without a conductor, the musicians proudly take full ownership of the music to form a thriving, refreshing and acclaimed voice within the Australian arts landscape.

The constantly evolving ensemble undertakes a major concert season annually in both Brisbane and Toowoomba. In addition, the orchestra perform regularly in festivals, collaborations, regional tours, live-to-air national broadcasts, recording, and fundraising activities. As a Queensland ensemble, Camerata provides career and performance opportunities for string players who wish to build a professional, international career from Brisbane, and as a point of attraction for those returning from overseas.

Camerata champions emerging Queensland composers through their annual Composer-in-Residence position, regularly commissioning new Australian works and providing performance opportunities. They also engage recently graduated tertiary musicians in their Upbeat program, offering opportunities to perform and tour alongside professional musicians.
