2025 Subscription Series
We are delighted to offer our 17th annual subscription series, with four concerts featuring outstanding soloists and a wide range of extraordinary music, conducted by the Camerata's Artistic Director, David Banney, and presented in the superb acoustics and architecture of Christ Church Cathedral. In 2025 we present three concerts instead of four in our subscription series due to major renovations that will take place at Christ Church Cathedral later in the year. Stay tuned for details of further concerts later in the year. ​
