Description	Da Camera of Houston, founded in 1987, was created in response to concerns about the dwindling audience for classical music in America with the intention to produce a series of thematically programmed concerts designed to attract new listeners to the concert hall. By bringing together leading American and international musicians, specifically selected for each program, Da Camera concerts offer a broad range of repertoire and musical styles while ensuring a product of outstanding musical excellence. Members of the Houston Symphony and faculty of Rice Universityıs Shepherd School of Music, University of Houstonıs Moores School and others are often included in Da Camera programs, expanding the opportunities for locally based musicians of national acclaim and enriching our community by enhancing the musical life of artists who choose to live here. Under the artistic leadership of Sarah Rothenberg since 1994, Da Camera maintains its commitment to this high caliber of musicianship brought together to perform in its Houston-based subscription series at the Wortham Theater Center and The Menil Collection; its extensive education and outreach activities; and its regional, national and international touring initiatives. Da Cameraıs goals to include connecting music to other art forms in originally conceived multi-disciplinary productions as well as in programs relating music to the social and political context in which it is composed. Da Camera is further committed to expanding awareness of American music through the presentation of jazz and commissioning of new compositions. In pursuing these goals, Da Camera has established collaborative relationships with a wide range of cultural institutions in Houston and throughout the world. To expand its impact in the community, Da Camera has firmly incorporated extensive education and outreach activities in its seasonal programming.
