Introducing... a brand new series of exciting concerts under the baton of Maestro Valentin Radu, featuring the latest offspring of Vox Ama Deus.

Camerata Ama Deus is a chamber orchestra made up of professional musicians from the Philadelphia, New York, and Baltimore-Washington regions performing on instruments of the appropriate period. The name Camerata derives from the Latin 'camera' meaning chamber. Camerata is a term describing a musical activity which took place in the Baroque era in the chambers of the king or noblemen with a group of friends performing together, usually on Sunday afternoons, around tea time, originally to serve dual purposes of musical camaraderie and praising the Lord on His day.

For this inaugural season we have chosen to feature 3 composers - pillars of Western music - Bach, Vivaldi, and Mozart. Each of the three concerts will feature one composer. October belongs to Bach, February goes to Vivaldi and June closes with Mozart, featuring Maestro Radu playing and conducting from the Steinway keyboard - an exciting first! These one-hour "soiree musicales" will be introduced and interspersed with "live notes" about the composers and the masterworks, and will be performed in the picture-perfect setting of the Gothic architecture of Goodhart Hall Music Room and Thomas Great Hall on the beautiful campus of Bryn Mawr College.

Our Camerata Ama Deus concerts are intended to serve much like wine-tasting - to whet your appetite for the magnificent world of Baroque and Classical music through the experience of authentic performances, to further enhance your knowledge and appreciation.
