The Davinspiro Camerata is a chamber orchestra founded in Riga (Latvia) by violinist Daniil Bulayev. His passion for music and his deep confidence in its power have shaped the ensemble since its foundation. The Davinspiro Camerata brings together some of the most talented musicians in Latvia who understand music as an artistic lifestyle and play with great dedication.
Together, the orchestra works continuously to shape its own sound and an independent artistic identity – always in search of new musical horizons. The members of the Davinspiro Camerata are united by the common claim to develop themselves artistically, to create orchestral experiences at the highest level and to share their enthusiasm for music with the audience.
Already in the first years of its existence, the Davinspiro Camerata worked together with a number of outstanding artists. These include the conductor and violinist Andres Mustonen, the double bassist Grigory Kovalevsky, the cellists Mischa Maisky and Guna Šnē, the violinist Elīna Bukša, the pianist Agnese Egliņa, the percussionist Andrei Pushkarev, the mezzo-soprano Luciana Mancini, the singer Daumants Kalniņš, the actor Daniel Bonilla Torres and the Janoska Ensemble. These diverse cooperations have significantly shaped the artistic development and stylistic openness of the ensemble.
The Davinspiro Camerata has also quickly made a name for itself in concerts. The orchestra has already been guests in numerous prestigious venues, including the Great Guild in Riga, the Latvian National Theatre, the Dzintari Concert Hall, the Great Amber Concert Hall in Liepāja, the Baltais flīģelis Concert Hall in Sigulda and the Cēsis Concert Hall. International guest performances also took the ensemble to the Viljandi Baptistikirik concert hall in Estonia and to London in the renowned Champs Hill.

Musikverein Brahms Hall
For many years, this hall was known only as the “Kleine Musikvereinssaal”, until in 1937, during the 125th anniversary year of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Wien, it was given a name that truly reflects its importance: the Brahms Saal. Johannes Brahms not only performed in person in this hall, he was also behind the very first concert to be performed here, by Clara Schumann on 19 January 1870. The standards set that day have been maintained ever since. The Brahms Saal remains one of the most prized locations for the greatest chamber music ensembles and lieder singers performing in the world today.
With just under of 600 seats, the hall is designed to showcase the intimate aspects of classical music. The hall acoustics are perfectly attuned to deliver this: the Brahms Saal – 32.50 metres long, 10.30 metres wide und 11 metres high – possesses a similar acoustic brilliance to the Große Musikvereinssaal.
When the Musiverein building was opened in 1870, the Kleine Musikvereinssaal was described as a “true little treasure chest”. It was even suggested that this hall might warrant greater praise and wonderment than the Große Musikvereinssaal: “One might even wish to award the prize to this hall for its peacefulness and simple grandeur.” It is abundantly clear that Theophil Hansen’s design for the Brahms Saal created an architectonic masterpiece of the Historicism period. His commitment to the “Greek Renaissance”, evident in the design’s allusions to classical Hellas, make this concert hall an authentic temple of chamber music.
In 1993 the Brahms Saal underwent a comprehensive restoration programme. The restoration project involved consulting the original designs held at the Print Room at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. This made it possible to reconstruct the original colour scheme created by Hansen as the Musikverein’s architect: green walls, red columns and the liberal use of gold.
When the Brahms Saal reopened to the public in its new form in 1993, a Vienna newspaper wrote: “Without wishing to raise expectations too high, this has been transformed into the most beautiful, magnificent and prestigious chamber music concert hall we are likely to find anywhere in the world.”
