Bernhard Paumgartner는 1952년 founded the ensemble in 1952 as the Camerata Academica des Mozarteums Salzburg, comprising his fellow teachers and students from the Mozarteum. He served as its director and de facto principal conductor until his death in 1971. Antonio Janigro became the new leader of the Camerata in 1974, the same year when the first abonement series of concerts were performed in Salzburg. Sándor Végh then served as principal conductor of the Camerata from 1978 until his death in 1997. Roger Norrington became principal conductor of the Camerata in 1997, and held the post until 2006. During his tenure, Norrington placed greater emphasis on historically informed performance practices. Leonidas Kavakos was principal guest artist of the Camerata from 2001 through 2006, and artistic director from 2007 until his resignation in July 2009, citing "instability in the orchestra's management". In June 2011, Louis Langrée was named the sixth principal conductor of the Camerata, effective September 2011, with an initial contract of 5 seasons.
The Camerata Salzburg has made commercial recordings for such labels as Decca, Warner Classics[5] and Sony Classical.
Hitting the right note is paramount for any speaker. But for musicians it is existential. The art, the challenge and the essence are to be found beyond interpreting the »visible« of a score. This guiding principle of the legendary Sandor VE>gh shaped the stylistic identity of the Camerata, founded in 1952 by Bernhard
Paumgartner, and remains the artistic credo of the ensemble.
Over 50 years of orchestra history have matured the Camerata into a tradition-filled chamber orchestra. Yet it consists of young, motivated musicians who, according to the Swiss Neue Zurcher Zeitung »play with a
commitment and a joy in music-making which is infectious .. «.The Camerata Salzburg is exceptional - musically, socially and organisationally. The ensemble is a mirror image of the international world through
which it travels. Its 24 nationalities reflect various their cultures, but all are united by the universal language of music. This is underscored by a considerable achievement: the 80 plus concerts which they play each year are nearly all privately financed - ararity in Europe. Their current sponsors in Austria are the Salzburger Sparkasse, a savings bank, as well as its insurance company subsidiary, the s-Versicherung.
And so it is not surprising that a whole host of well-known international artists are delighted to accept the orchestra's invitation to play. This season's guests include Howard Shelley, Heinrich Schiff, Christian
Muthspiel, Angelika Kirchschlager, Barbara Bonney, Lang Lang, Rudolf Buchbinder, Sir Neville Marriner.
Last season the orchestra was on tour in the USA, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Greece with Sir Roger Norrington, their Chief Conductor since 1997, and Leonidas Kavakos, their Principal Guest Artist since
the 2001/02 Season.
