CAMERATA PACIFICA’S SEASON 29
BASED IN BEETHOVEN
Camerata Pacifica is a chamber music ensemble based in Santa Barbara that performs a monthly series of concerts in Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Marino (at the Huntington), and DTLA’s Zipper Hall (at Colburn School). Founded by Adrian Spence in 1990, the group is composed of the finest performers of chamber music from around the world. The ensemble is distinctive for artistic excellence, an innovative approach to classical music and a repertoire that ranges from baroque to brand new, from familiar masterworks to works that have yet to become favorites. This season will concentrate on Beethoven, and Mr. Spence elucidates below just why the master is used as a fulcrum for these terrific programs.
