Our story
Camerata was founded in 2015 by Liz Pritchett and the late luthier and cellist Ian Lyons, to create music-making opportunities that all could enjoy. Ian rang New Zealand Symphony Orchestra first violinist Anne Loeser to invite her to lead and, in the midst of cooking at a holiday bach, she unwisely agreed! The rest is history, with Anne becoming Camerata’s Musical Director and Concertmaster.
