About

Kammermusik is a flexible chamber music ensemble based in Melbourne. The group performs a wide range of music but specialises in baroque, classical, romantic and contemporary chamber music, from Bach to Britten. Ensembles vary in size and personnel depending on the needs of the program.

The group, previously known as the Parkville Ensemble has been performing in a range of venues since 1999. Founders Stuart Riley and Nicky Kilpatrick went to the UK in 2010 but returned to Australia in early 2013. Hence the relaunch under the name kammermusik, which means "chamber music" in German.

The group is based on a core of string players but augments a dozen or so for larger ensembles which may include winds, voices and piano.
The group was formed in Parkville in 1999.

  

Our players are full time members of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, or Orchestra Victoria, or free lancers, having working with many of the top orchestras in Australia and the UK
