Camerata Romeu is an all-female instrumentalist chamber music group[1] founded and led by Zenaida Castro Romeu,[2][3] orchestral director and composer from a family of Cuban performers and composers spanning several generations.
[4] The orchestra's musical focus is playing European style classical music while drawing on the popular rhythms of Cuba[5] taken from Spanish, African and Latin American Indians.
Camerata Romeu toured Florida in 1998, and performed at the Repertorio Español.
Cinematic journalist, filmmaker and co-founder of Accent Media, Cecilia Domeyko, created a documentary of Camerata Romeu, entitled Cuba Mia: Portrait of an All-Woman Orchestra,[9] which in 2003 won the Silver Screen awards at the US International Film & Video Festival.
[10]" The ensemble performs regularly at the Festival de Música Contemporánea in Havana.
