Camerata Pacifica

A major new video release from Camerata Pacifica: Lera Auerbach's "Dreammusik" with cellist Ani Aznavoorian.

A dark, dreamlike cello concerto in one movement, moving through tenderness, shadow, grotesque dance, memory and, always, strange beauty.

Auerbach: Dreammusik for Cello and Chamber Ensemble — Ani Aznavoorian, Camerata Pacifica Recorded Live in Concert, May 22nd, 2025, in Zipper Hall at the Colburn School, Los Angeles, CA. A dark, dreamlike cello concerto in one movement, Lera Auerb...

"… a performance of such technical and emotional potency that it became a transformative experience. … Those kinds of experiences are rare, but Camerata Pacifica seems to have discovered the alchemy to realize these as if on demand. This is no fluke. Camerata Pacifica has gathered some of the most preeminent musicians in the country. Each concert is characterized by the sort of superlative level of musicianship that stands at the very best one can hear anywhere in the world.
But what takes these musical experiences into another plane is the vision of Adrian Spence, Camerata Pacifica’s founder and artistic director. There is a three-dimensional quality to his programming, a sense of music transcending the boundaries of art and lunging into the living world of our everyday."

We've been making a fuss over the percussion quartet that's joining us for our season closing concerts. But that's not to forget about these amazing musicians: violinist Grace Park, pianist Gilles Vonsattel and cellist Ani Aznavoorian. With the percussionists, all 7 musicians join forces to close the concert and the season with Derevyanko's excellent arrangement of Shostakovich's final symphony.
