B.E. Theatrum Soft Launch at the UP Lagoon

* Camerata Jazz was formed by the single need for an ensemble to perform and talk about Jazz. What started as a temporaroy group gained constant opportunities that eventually stapled the members together forming a single vehicle for jazz prformance. Contrary to the usual bands with senior members, Camerata Jazz is composed of four young top-notch instrumentalists from the UP College of Music. Their diverse influences and trainings brought about a sound distinct to the group alone. This resulted in a wide range of jazz and blues repertoire - from the standards of Duke Ellington to the modern and fusion styles of Chick Corea and Gary Burton.
