Camerata SMO is a chamber ensemble of the Slovenian Youth Orchestra.

Camerata is made up of more experienced musicians aged 18 to 26 who are already trying to make their mark on the professional scene. Playing in Camerata allows you to work in the broadest musical field, flirting with different genres and interdisciplinary work. Performing on stage, in studios, collaborating with Slovenian professional musicians and playing with different artists is seen as an important way of weaving inter-collegiate bonds and gaining mileage for a successful professional career. Camerata musicians also play in the Slovenian Youth Orchestra, where they act as supportive tutors to the youngest musicians and as the strongest link in the chain of peer-to-peer cooperation. Inversely, talented younger members of youth orchestra get the opportunity to perform in Camerata.
