We are the Knoxville Opera Camerata;
a community that enjoys music, seeks out cultural experiences, and loves to have a good time!
“Being able to contribute to Knoxville’s cultural life in a meaningful way while participating in fun activities and enjoying the camaraderie of like-minded folks….what could be better? I feel very privileged to be part of such a purpose driven, active, and fun board. The enthusiasm generated by us all working together for the good of the opera we love is wonderful!”
