The new Real Câmara emerges from the desire to create an orchestral project of excellence dedicated to the recovery and dissemination of Portuguese musical heritage from the 18th and 19th centuries. Rooted in historical performance practice, it intends to rescue the spirit of the Portuguese court orchestra of the 1700s, the original Real Câmara, both through its surviving collection of repertoire as well as through the evocation of its cosmopolitan nature and wide musical scope.

Based in Lisbon and under the direction of Enrico Onofri, it reaffirms the long musical relationship between its founding members and the Italian violinist and conductor, bringing together an international and eclectic group of musicians specializing in Early Music.
