Camerata Vocal Group

Camerata was founded in 1986 as a chamber choir consisting of 18 singers. The repertoire included Russian classical music, orthodox music, renaissance music and avant-garde. In 1988 jazz compositions appeared in the repertoire of Camerata for the first time. Since 1991 "Camerata Vocal Group" has become the ensemble consisting of 7 singers and a sound engineer. The first experimental work with sound effects and individual microphones took place in 1989 on the International Jazz Festival in Panievezus (Lithuania). Since 1995 the ensemble completely has changed its style. The musicians decided to promote their own original music combining a classical styling with ethnic chant and sounds from nature, larded with jazzy close-harmony and rhythms. Although this music has become the main ingredient in the art of the ensemble, jazz music still occupies an important part of Camerata's repertoire.

Discography

My Angel

Near the Grove Falcon My Angel My LIttle Eye-brows Autumn Night Segudilia Bulgarian Fantasy Christmas

The Camerata Vocal Group comprises eight professional musicians, seven singers and a sound engineer. All are graduates of higher schools of music in Belarus and Russia. Their repertoire includes pieces belonging to different genres, from classical to jazz, oftentimes interwoven with each other, giving birth to totally new and uncommon combinations. The core of "Angel" is Slavic folklore, but each piece is a work of experimental and quite amazing vocal art. Concert tours in the Soviet Union, Switzerland, Poland, Turkey, Austria and the U.S. have gained them fans from all music traditions. Eight stunning pieces: "Near The Grove," the soaring "Falcon," the title tune (with a marvelous vocal "horn section"), the classical/jazzy "My Little Eye-Brows," "Autumn Night," "Segudilia," "Bulgarian Fantasy" and "Christmas." Absolutely lovely, with harmonies and vocal effects that must be heard to be believed. Camerata is one of the best in the world, however we wish to define or categorize them!
