Mission and vision of the organization
A veritable breeding ground for creation and exploration, the Sylva Camerata Chamber Orchestra organizes musical events that redefine the concert experience. The orchestra acts like a vortex, attracting artists, artisans and creators from the Brome-Missisquoi region.
Each season, the organization offers four concerts, from the intimacy of chamber music — a few musicians — to the great symphonic works. Each concert is the subject of an original staging in symbiosis with the nature of the work presented, sometimes festive or dramatic, sometimes playful or mysterious, each time creating a unique and memorable atmosphere that allows the audience to discover, in addition to music, poetry, theater, dance, or visual arts for a rich and complete artistic experience.
