Camerata Aberta at Americas Society. Image by Arturo Sanchez.

The Camerata Aberta is a cutting-edge contemporary music ensemble from the Escola de Música do Estado de São Paulo – Tom Jobim (EMESP). With a versatile roster of 16 musicians specializing in contemporary music, the group is known for its top-notch performances of both the essential pieces of the 21st century canon and earlier classics. In addition to their performing activities, the members of the Camerata Aberta teach at the EMESP, working to bring contemporary music to a new generation of musicians. The ensemble also encourages new composition with residency programs and new commissions.

This concert is part of the SONiC Festival, a city-wide festival of new music written by composers under the age of 40 performed by exciting ensembles from around the world.
