Camerata Nordica is an internationally acclaimed chamber orchestra hailing from Sweden, renowned for their dynamic performances and innovative approach to classical music. Formed in the mid-1970s under the original name Kalmar Baroque Ensemble, they have since evolved into one of Scandinavia’s foremost string orchestras, often performing without a conductor to promote intimate musical interplay and engage deeply with the repertoire. The ensemble's artistic direction is guided by some of the most distinguished players and conductors in the field, ensuring a fresh and insightful interpretation of both historical and contemporary works.

The ensemble's vast discography showcases an impressive range of styles and periods, reflecting their versatility and commitment to exploring the full spectrum of string repertoire. From the intricate works of Baroque masters like Telemann in "Telemann: Concerto for Trombone and Strings" to the profound emotional landscapes of Beethoven's "The Late String Quartets" arranged for string orchestra, Camerata Nordica has garnered critical acclaim. Their recent releases, such as "Lindberg and Strings" and "Qualities of Darkness", illustrate their continuous endeavor to push the boundaries of classical music, encompassing modern compositions and collaborations with composers like Anna-Lena Laurin in "Quests". Camerata Nordica's captivating interpretations and the breadth of their musical exploration have cemented their reputation as an ensemble of exceptional artistry and innovation.
