Camerata Jeonnam—combining the names of Camerata, a group of artists, and Jeonnam, the region where Gwangju is located—is an orchestral group that consists of active artists in Gwangju and the Jeonnam region who strive to enhance its musical capabilities and brand value. From Baroque and classical music to contemporary and creative music, it offers a wide range of repertoire and collaboration with top Korean musicians, enhancing brand values and providing new and diverse forms of performances. After their first performance in September 2017 in Gwangju, the group held their second regular performance in August 2018 in Daegu. The group was also invited to the “2019 World Orchestra Series,” hosted by the Daegu Concert House, and performed onstage. Through regular performances in Korea’s southeastern and southwestern regions and joint recruitment of orchestra members and collaborators, the orchestra group continues to contribute to the vitalization of artistic exchanges in the area.
In addition, in 2020 and 2021, the group was selected for the “Continuous Performance Support” and “Ojakgyo Project” by the Performing Arts Creative Cradle under the Arts Council Korea and recognized for their outstanding creative music, thereby contributing to the development of the Korean composition scene and presenting diverse perspectives of the arts and their appreciation that the public can relate to.
