Tulsa Camerata to perform at All Souls Unitarian Church

Tulsa Camerata is pleased to announce that all four of our main stage concerts during our 2011/12 season will be performed in Emerson Hall at All Souls Unitarian Church. This wonderful space is host to many community events including the popular "All Soul Acoustic Coffee House", a concert series that highlights local and national performers. If you haven't had the opportunity to experience a concert in this space, we know that you will not be dissappointed.

The Tulsa Camerata is less than a year old, but this confederation of local musicians has already started doing much more than putting on concerts.

"When we started thinking about putting this group together," said Liza Villarreal, one of the founding musicians, "we had all sorts of big plans for things we wanted to accomplish. But we realized that, at least for our first year, we had better focus on something we thought we could accomplish most easily."

The opening season of the Tulsa Camerata will conclude memorably on Thursday - with pieces ranging from Igor Stravinsky to Frank Zappa.

The chamber ensemble was formed last year by local musicians who wanted to branch out and play music not typically performed in Tulsa, said Jason Heilman, Tulsa Camerata board member, who serves as the master of ceremonies at performances.

It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that, in spite of a program that included music by Bach and Mozart, the hit of the Tulsa Camerata’s concert Thursday night was a collection of tangos.

This new chamber music repertory company titled its concert “Winters, Nights,” with music selected, according to Camerata board member and master of ceremonies Jason Heilman, to evoke the convivial atmosphere of people gathering together in various locales.

Usually when people see Nathan Fifield at a December performance, he's up to his neck in nutcrackers.

That's because Fifield, music director of Tulsa Ballet, spends a good portion of each December leading the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra as it accompanies the ballet in "The Nutcracker."

Fifield is one of the musicians taking part in "Winters, Nights," a concert by the Tulsa Camerata, at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Cascia Hall PAC, 2525 S. Yorktown Ave.

When a handful of orchestra musicians gets together to play some chamber music, you wouldn't expect one of the pieces chosen for this high-brow jam session would be by Frank Zappa. Unless you were talking about the Tulsa Camerata.

This newly formed ensemble - built around a core of Tulsa Symphony Orchestra musicians - makes its debut Thursday, performing what will be the first of a four-concert season at the Cascia Hall PAC, 2525 S. Yorktown Ave.

When Jesus Villarreal and his wife, Liza, moved to Tulsa two years ago, they thought the city had everything they might want. Except a group that played the sort of chamber music they wanted to play.
