Founded in 2002 by the Lausanne Conservatory, with the encouragement of Pierre Amoyal, the Camerata de Lausanne revives the tradition of ensembles that perform without a conductor. Solo violinist Pierre Amoyal is accompanied by four to six violins, three violas, three cellos, one double bass and a harpsichord. These young talents come from very different backgrounds, but form a cohesive and dynamic ensemble united by a common instrumental tradition.

 

"We even forget their spectacular technique to abandon ourselves to the pleasure of a liberated and delicious music . Violins, violas, cellos and double bass insinuate themselves under the voluptuously imperial baton of Pierre Amoyal."
