Royal Concertgebouw musicians pay homage to chamber music greats

We close our 48th season with a triumphant return to our stage. The Camerata RCO, comprised of individual musicians from Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, was a smashing success in their last appearance with us, and they return with an eclectic and charming selection of chamber music essentials. We explore the nimble elegance of Mozart and the emotional depth of Brahms, and the program is crowned with an original arrangement of Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony, a broad and dramatic ode to the composer’s famously patriotic Czech identity. Come celebrate with us at the end of another sensational season.

W.A. Mozart Trio for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano, (“Kegelstatt”)
Johannes Brahms Trio for Horn, Violin, and Piano
Antonín Dvorák Symphony No. 7 in D Minor, arr. de Vlieger

About the Artists

Formed by members of Amsterdam's famed Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (RCO), Camerata RCO performs chamber music in multiple formations from duet to small chamber orchestra, with a special focus on the Classical and Romantic repertoire for winds and strings, and active relationships with living composers.

It is an absolute love of chamber music that drives these musicians to divert time out of their busy schedules, as members of one of the world's greatest orchestras, to perform together as Camerata RCO. Praised by the New York Times for their "warm, glowing performance," the ensemble has enjoyed tremendous success in the Netherlands and abroad and performs around 50 concerts a season internationally in music capitals such as Amsterdam, Vienna, Tokyo, Seoul, Madrid, Rome, and New York. Their ever-expanding discography on Gutman Records includes recordings of works by Corelli, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Mahler, and Ravel.

Recent highlights include a critically acclaimed tour of South Korea; a weeklong residency at the Festival Musika-Música in Bilbao, Spain; concerts in both halls of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw; their UK debut in Cambridge; and a special benefit concert directed by New York Philharmonic music director and former Concertgebouw concertmaster Jaap Van Zweden. Camerata RCO has toured North America multiple times in recent seasons, performing works by Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart, Schubert, and Schumann, as well as Dutch composer Tristan Keuris and RCO composer-in-residence Detlev Glanert.
