Camerata Varsovia | Cor Jove Nacional de Catalunya

Direction : Elżbieta Siczek CAMERATA VARSOVIA choir was set up in January 2000 as an initiative of its conductor – Elżbieta Siczek and a group of choir members with experience gained as members of other music groups who wanted to follow their own artistic path. Repertoire of the choir consists of sacred and secular music of different periods of time from Gregorian chant to contemporary music performed both a capella and with instruments. The choir connects its musical activity with social responsibility. As a result, it participates in the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity and gives concerts for the Polish communities in Lithuania and Ukraine or during charity events. The choir performs in Poland and abroad (Ukraine, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Belgium and the Netherlands, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain). In April 2012 it has co-participated in the preparation of a concert dedicated to polychoral music of Marian Sawa organized as a part of a PhD degree of Elżbieta Siczek.

Management: Mireia Barrera Cor Jove Nacional de Catalunya (CJNC) is an initiative of Moviment Coral Català and Corals Joves de Catalunya, with the support of the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Diputació de Barcelona, Barcelona City Council and Institut Ramon Llull. It was created to provide excellent training for the country's most talented young singers, under the direction of renowned national and international choral conductors. The choir also acts as an ambassador for Catalan choral excellence beyond its borders. Catalonia's rich choral fabric - over 1,000 choirs and more than 30,000 singers - provides the ideal foundation for this project. The CJNC is made up of singers aged 18 to 28, selected by audition. The choir meets periodically throughout the year, taking care not to interfere with the singers' regular commitments. Each session concludes with a series of concerts throughout Catalonia. For the period 2023-2027, the choir's principal conductor is Mireia Barrera.
