What People Are Saying
“A varied collective of many of San Diego’s most skilled performers…Camarada has consistently delivered the goods for the last 25 seasons, whether the fare has been standard repertory classical chamber music, challenging contemporary compositions, jazz, dance, or the music of Latin America.”
— Ken Herman, San Diego Story
“Camarada paints chamber music with a wide brush, often coloring outside the lines.”
— Beth Wood, San Diego Union Tribune
“In the ‘Mosaics’ concert, chamber ensemble Camarada soars with precision and intensity. Sunday’s concert featured a diverse but focused set of chamber music miniatures drawn from the 20th and 21st centuries, including works by composer Stefan Cwik.”
— Luke Schulze, San Diego Union Tribune
"We love the intimate setting. You can practically touch the musicians. The variety of musical styles makes each night unique, and the talent is incredible."
— P.G., Audience Member
“I was thrilled with the beauty and artistry of tone throughout the concert. At the moment, words are elusive to express my appreciation for your realizations of this music (Piazzolla).”
— L.G., Audience Member
