Cammer Musicus

Baroque Orchestra

Cammer Musicus is a local baroque orchestra founded by Die Konzertisten Charity Institute with support from the Early Music Society of Hong Kong. The orchestra is dedicated to giving historically informed performances of music of the 17th- and 18th-centuries, and to promote it to the general public. The orchestra gave its critically acclaimed debut in December 2015, performing Handel Messiah under the baton of baroque music specialist Jonathan Cohen. In 2016-2018, the group performed a number of Bach’s cantatas according to their liturgical seasons with Die Konzertisten in its Bach Pilgrimage Series. In April 2017, they performed Bach St John Passion under the leadership of world-renowned Bach scholar and interpreter John Butt. In January 2018, musicians of the group travelled to London for an exchange with the award-winning period instruments ensemble Arcangelo. After that, they performed in Hong Kong with baroque flautist Marten Root and baroque cellist Viola de Hoog, master musicians of their respective instruments. Last September, Cammer Musicus performed alongside musicians of Arcangelo, playing music by Bach, Telemann, Handel, Vivaldi, Marcelo, and Buxtehude.
