Camerata Pacifica is a premium chamber music ensemble. Founded in 1990 by Artistic Director Adrian Spence, the group is based in Santa Barbara, CA and performs subscription series in 4 Southern Californian cities: Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Marino & Los Angeles. Camerata Pacifica enjoys a reputation for artistic & programming excellence and over 32 seasons has developed a loyal, durable and intellectually curious audience.

This is an international ensemble, drawing its musicians from all over the world. Our artists are representative of the world’s finest, bringing to the stage their highly individual personalities for dynamic performances of music that spans the huge, eclectic range of the chamber music repertoire. Those performances are presented in venues which enhance the intimate and viscerally expressive qualities of the music — an exploration of that intimacy is a critical component of our performances.

In 2020 Camerata Pacifica developed a landmark resource for hospitals entitled The Nightingale Channel. Drawing upon our extensive video library, the initiative delivers curated programming to patient bedsides, offering interest and solace when it can be particularly meaningful. The program will launched in January 2021 in a collaboration with UCLA Health.
