"Camerata Köln is an ensemble devoted to baroque and classical chamber music, with a special focus on works with woodwind instruments.

Since its foundation in 1979, the ensemble has performed in almost all European countries and at important early music festivals such as the Internationale Festtage Alter Musik Innsbruck, Flanders Festival Bruges, Tage Alter Musik Herne, Arolser Barockfestspiele or Tage Alter Musik Köln. International touring has also taken Camerata Köln to countries outside Europe including Israel, North and South America, India, Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan, mostly in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut. In North America, the ensemble has already performed in such places as the Frick Collection In New York, Indianapolis Early Music Festival, Vancouver Early Music Festival, the Pittsburg Renaissance and Baroque Society, the Tropical Baroque Festival sponsored by the Miami Bach Society and, more recently, the Edmonton Chamber Music Society, the Calgary Millenium Foundation and the Women's Musical Club of Toronto, Canada's oldest music series.
