Austin Camerata
Chamber Music | Reimagined
Austin Camerata was founded in 2016 by two friends—Daniel and Marisa—and myself after we spent 18 months playing in a quartet together at UT. The mission of Austin Camerata is to enrich the city of Austin by introducing new audiences to the world of chamber music through creative concerts, artistic collaborations, and community outreach. Austin Camerata was nominated for “Best Classical Ensemble” by the 2018 Austin Critics Table. The organization became a nonprofit in 2019.
