OSLO CAMERATA

Director: Stephan Barratt-Due

Oslo Camerata was established in 1998, and is now Ensemble in Residence at the renowned Barratt Due Institute of Music in Oslo. The orchestra consists of professional musicians. Selected students on the MA and BA courses, however, may also have the opportunity to take part in the orchestra’s projects.

In recent years the Oslo Camerata has enjoyed great success in festivals and tours throughout Europe, India and Brasil. Everywhere the freshness of their sound draws an enthusiastic response from audiences and critics. Their repertoire extends from baroque to contemporary music, with commissioned works from both young and established composers. Their TV-production of the Four Seasons by Vivaldi for Norwegian National Television, was received with great acclaim.

Oslo Camerata has its own concert series at the Old Masonic Lodge in Oslo, from Grieg’s time. From the very beginning they have worked with artists such as Truls Mørk, Henning Kraggerud, Ole Edvard Antonsen, Juhani Lagerspetz and Christian Lindberg.

Stephan Barratt-Due, a third generation violinist in the Barratt-Due family, is the founder and leader of the orchestra. Together with violist Soon-Mi Chung and cellist Bjørn Solum he forms the core of the orchestra.
