The Saint Rose Camerata is the resident faculty ensemble at the College of Saint Rose. the Camerata was founded in 2003 by fluitist, Dr. Yvonne Chavez Hansbrough. It was created to provide a cultural arts center of classical chamber music for the College of Saint Rose community and the Capital Region.
Faculty musicians are familiar as recitalists and as principal performers with orchestras including the Schenectady, Glens Falls and Albany Symphonies. This concert season the Camerata will present a series of four concerts of diverse programming. Masterworks from a variety of style periods will be featured in mixed ensembles of strings, winds, voice and keyboard.
Highlights of this season include a concert with Dr. Joseph Eppink performing on the newly installed pipe organ at Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church. Concert 2 will feature our newly appointed Assistant Professor of piano, Dr. young Kim with fluitist Yvonne Hansbrough saxophonist Paul Evoskevich. In February we will honor Black History Month and American composers with music by William Grant Still and Samuel Barber. The season finale, "The Roaring Twenties," will feature an ensemble of seventeen players in a performance ofLa Creation du Monde by Darius Milhaud.
