Many thanks to our audience members, who turned out en masse to fill St Lawrence’s Church for our concert on 23rd May. Those who attended enjoyed a real treat and gave a rapturous response to clarinetist Jean Cockburn’s performance of the Finzi concerto. The orchestra also delighted with its performance of the Suite for Strings by Frank Bridge and specially arranged extracts from Purcell’s “The Fairy Queen” provided by Music Director Sam Laughton

Founded in 1996, Chiltern Camerata is an amateur string orchestra for adults which meets approximately fortnightly in the High Wycombe area during school term time. We are a non-profit organisation. Our aim is to enjoy making music and to stage about three concerts per year, sometimes including concerts for children. Often we combine with wind players, and various soloists to offer a wider range of music than the typical string repertoire. We rehearse mainly at at Holmer Green Baptist Church see map and “Rehearsals” tab.
Over the years we have presented audiences with a wide range of concerts (see past performances tab above).

Our objective is to entertain our audiences, to provide an opportunity for soloists to perform with an orchestra, and raise money for charity.
The orchestra encourages string players to join in our music-making and to become members of the orchestra. See “Membership” and “Rehearsal” tabs. If you live in the south Bucks area and can commit to regular rehearsals, please contact us on 01494 481146, or e-mail us on info@chiltern-camerata.org.uk
Whether you play an instrument or not, if you love music and live in or around south Bucks we hope to see you at one of our concerts.
