Austin Camerata

Austin Camerata Chamber music | reimagined We are also presenting a free performance at the Texas State Capitol and a free children's concert at the Austin Public Library.

Austin Camerata is a festival that reimagines chamber music and reaches new audiences through unconventional concerts, artistic collaborations, and community engagements. We want to take chamber music out of the concert hall and into the community by presenting concerts at local schools, retirement communities, and hospitals. In addition, you can buy a ticket to see us perform at 4th Tap Brewery o

n May 18th and ImagineArt Studio on May 21st. We believe that storytelling is an integral part of connecting with a performance. To that end, we are collaborating with local dancers and a creative writer to build deeper connections between chamber music and our community
