Camerata Antonio Soler

The Camerata Antonio Soler was founded in late 2011 with the purpose of addressing a diverse list of works of all styles, emphasizing the Spanish classical and romantic repertoire. The core of the group consists of fourteen wind and string musicians from the area of San Lorenzo de El Escorial (Madrid – Spain). All professionals with proven artistic worth and frequent collaborators in the best European orchestras specialized in historical performance, such as The Orchestra of the Age of the Enlightenment, European Union Baroque Orchestra or Les Arts Florissants.
The Camerata has performed on several ocasions at the Auditorio Nacional de Madrid, as well as the Auditorio del Escorial with such soloists as Marta Infante (mezzo) or Josetxu Obregón (cello). In addition, the Camerata was the Orchestra in residence for the International Congress of Musicology APARM in Lisbon (2014). The group has already recorded four CD’s with unknown works by Gaetano Brunetti and Luigi Boccherini. The first CD (Brunetti. Sinfonías), released in December 2014, was included in the TOP 10 RECENT RELEASES by Allegro Classical in October 2015, with such groups and orchestras like The Six- teen, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Hallé Orchestra. The Camerata Antonio Soler is the Resident Orchestra for the International Conductors Masterclass “El Escorial” by the eminent Finnish Professor Jorma Panula, which 5th edition will be held next July 2016. Gustavo Sánchez is the founding conductor and Ignacio Ramal its concertmaster.
