Camerata Senza Misura is an ambitious project whose main goal is to bring together a new generation of portuguese musicians and to perform chamber music programs.
With an eclectic formation – including winds, strings and piano – this group is able to execute works with the most various combinations, which allows them, at the same time, to have more range and flexibility to execute a repertoire of several periods in the history of music.
This project began on November of 2002 with their participation in the cycle Clarinete À Volta do Côa (Clarinet around Côa). On the XIV Encontros da Primavera (XIV Spring Meetings), at Guimarães, Camerata Sensa Misura premiered the work Contrastes by Luís Cipriano. Participated in the cycle Os Dias da Nova Música Portuguesa (The Days of New Portuguese Music), at Condeixa-a-Nova; in the Festival de Música de Paços de Brandão (Paços de Brandão Music Festival), in Box Music at Centro Cultural de Belém, in the Festival Internacional de Música da Póvoa de Varzim (Póvoa de Varzim International Music Festival), and in the Festival Internacional de Música do Algarve (Algarve International Music Festival), among others.
In 2005 Camerata Sensa Misura commissioned works to several Portuguese prestigious composers: Luís Tinoco, Victorino D’Almeida, Fernando Lapa, Sérgio Azevedo, Christopher Bochman, Carlos Azevedo and João Madureira, among others.
In 2007 the group is invited to take part in the project “Retratos e Paisagens” (“Portraits and Landscapes”), promoted by the Delegação Regional de Cultura do Norte (North Region Cultural Department), a tribute to Miguel Torga, in commemoration of the centenary of his birth, performing a dozen of concerts in the whole country and also in Spain.
