The VU-Kamerorkest (the Chamber Orchestra of the VU University Amsterdam) was founded in 1991 to give members of the big VU-Orchestra an opportunity to perform works for chamber orchestra that the VU-Orchestra for reasons of overseize never will perform. Every season 2-3 programs are played. Rehearsals find place in Amsterdam in compact periods, on Fridays (19.30-22.30), and some Saturdays and Sundays.
The repertoire is partly classical (C.Ph.Em.Bach, J.Chr.Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn) and romantic (Schumann, Brahms, Dvorak, Wagner, Strauß). The ever changing group of players and conductor Daan Admiraal have a remarkable devotion to music of the 20th century.
The orchestra played Debussy, Ravel, Poulenc, Stavinsky, Shostakovich, Bartók, Ligeti, Schönberg, Berg, Verbey, Keuris. The VU-Chamber-Orchestra played 6 opera's productions in recent years: Mozart, Idomeneo; Stravinsky, The Rake's Progress; Verdi, Ernani & I Lombardi and Poulenc, La voix humaine; Martinu&Ansink, Groots en meeslepend wil ik leven. Apart from the operaproductions there are coproductions with choral organisations and their own conductors.
