In 2015 the quartet collaborated with renowned composer Arturo Cardelús, playing ‘Con aire de tango’, a project that culminated with a performance at Blackheath Halls.
Siegfried Camerata

An ensemble composed of former and current Trinity Laban graduate students, the group debuted in January 2014 at Blackheath Halls, in a concert praised by the local press for performances of works by Mozart and Wagner.

Recently it transformed into a full symphony orchestra to perform works by Barbe, Lalo, and Dvořák’s Symphony No 8 at Blackheath Halls.

For this concert a selection of the Camarata’s string players, including its chief conductor Manuel Arellano, perform Mendelssohn’s famous String Octet.
