Camerata Cantilly

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Our first Lisinski Concert Hall performance — Mendelssohn’s Concert Pieces for two clarinets — was held in memory of Ivan Paar, father of our artistic director. It crowned three years of tours proudly bringing Harmoniemusik to Croatian audiences. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Camerata Cantilly, Mihael Paar, Vittoria Palumbo, Petite Symphonie (Live) Charles Neidich, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Weber: Clarinet Concertos - Rossini: Introduction, Theme and Variations Ivan Batoš, Mihael Paar, The Flight of the Bumble Bee “Petite Symphonie” — our debut, marking the start of our Harmoniemusik journey; “The Flight of the Bumble Bee” by Mihael Paar — for its dazzling virtuosity; and “Weber: Clarinet Concertos – Rossini” — for its brilliance and lasting inspiration. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Solomon, HWV 67, Act III: Arrival of the Queen of Sheba (Live in Šibenik 2019)” “Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” (Šibenik, 2019) — a live moment where, though devoted to Harmoniemusik, (we believe) we caught a genuine baroque spirit. The lightness, ornamentation, and joyful pace made it an unforgettable highlight. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Our most important career moments are our anniversary concerts: 2019 marked 5 years with a rich, televised program, representative Harmoniemusik works and arrangements with soloists and guests. The 10-year celebration in 2024 was equally memorable. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Our bucket list is full, but we take it one step at a time: expanding our discography, making new video recordings, and performing in at least some of Europe’s most important concert halls, which we truly hope to achieve.
