Taking its name from musica da camera (a 17th-century Italian term for chamber music), the Da Camera Society uncovers hidden SoCal gems with Chamber Music in Historic Sites, a live performance series that pairs classical music with, you guessed it, historic sites. Past seasons of the Da Camera Society's unique programming have brought music to the halls of the Bradbury Building, the LAPD headquarters, the habitats at the LA Zoo, and the Eisen and Hunt-designed Doheny Mansion, whose magnificent Tiffany glass ceiling provides the acoustics for a performance by Szymanowski Quartet, inside the Pompeian Room.

Da Camera Society says…

"Able to create a tension throughout the room before having played the first note" (Frankfurter Rundschau), this spectacular quartet creates a sensation wherever it goes. They return to the romantic warmth of the Pompeian Room for "vibrant and wonderfully focused performances" (The Guardian) of masterworks by Mendelssohn (Cappriccio in e, Op. 81 No. 3), Beethoven (Op. 59 No. 2), and Bach. "The Szymanowski Quartet electrified the air with a sizzling performance of choice quartet repertory" (San Diego Union).
