C4 Saturday 3 September 4.30 pm Camerata of St John’s was re-created in 2005 by its founder, Elizabeth Morgan, who perceived that Queensland was ready to have its own outstanding chamber orchestra. The original Camerata, formed at St John’sCathedral in Brisbane in 1987, was an innovative educational experiment that created an opportunity for emerging artists to develop self-reliance and group ownership by rehearsing and performing without a conductor. Camerata is now a point of attraction for players who have established careers overseas and wish to return to Australia, as well as for those who wish to build an international career based in Brisbane. The new Camerata has a strengthened partnership with the St John’sCathedral community and performs the chamber orchestra classics but it also embraces adventurous programming and performing styles. In addition to its major concert series, Camerata’s other activities include performing for special liturgical services and events at St John's Cathedral, invitation performances and corporate events.
