Da Camera is a versatile ensemble, crossing the line between 'early', 'folk' and 'contemporary' music. Their programmes range in repertoire from the passamezzi of the 15th century, via traditional Celtic and English music, through the baroque, to newly-commissioned works. Three new works have been commissioned by them to date. All members of the recorder family feature alongside many different sizes of viol with harpsichord or organ accompaniment. The ensemble has performed at London's Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room, for the BBC on many occasions, at many major festivals around the UK - including Totnes Early Music Society, Finchcocks' Festival, Chester Summer Music Festival and Dartington Summer Festival - and many other venues. Emma, Susanna and Steven are all in demand as freelance musicians with many of the UK's leading period groups and they all teach on various music courses and summer schools, including Dartington International Summer School.
