Dear Maestro,
I just wanted to say bravo, and to tell you how much I enjoyed the concert on Sunday night! I loved the Copland and was extremely impressed with your superb conducting of Caroline’s piece. You made the orchestra sound absolutely beautiful.
I was so happy to be there and will definitely come to your concerts when I am in Buffalo.
BRAVO and thank you,
JoAnn (Falletta)
Music Director, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra

About Us
The Camerata di Sant’Antonio is a chamber orchestra of camerati (friends) who connect with their audiences through innovative performances that both draw on the classical tradition and satisfy their own enthusiasm for musical discovery. We immerse ourselves in masterworks with new vision as if they were composed yesterday, and surprise our audiences with premiere works that resonate with contemporary culture. We treasure camaraderie, and cultivate a collaborative spirit that elicits a multiplicity of voices. In this way, we satisfy our passion for artistic excellence and exploration.
Founded on June 13th 2002, the Camerata was originally created to celebrate the legacy of Buffalo’s Italian immigrants, and to strengthen the bonds of that community through their musical heritage. For ten years, the orchestra was hosted in the impeccable acoustics of St. Anthony of Padua Church behind Buffalo City Hall. We now perform music of diverse genres in diverse communities across Western NY.
We make special efforts to invite ensembles of young performers and musicians from underrepresented communities to celebrate music with us, and proudly present “take note” concerts in support of worthy causes.
