KammerMusikkKammerMusikk (the Norwegian word for "chamber music") is a small ensemble that offers members of the University Symphony Orchestra the opportunity to perform with a chamber-size orchestra. Formed on an ad hoc basis, KammerMusikk has been the name under which USO members have performed in recent seasons at venues in Washington, Montana, Idaho and even in Eastern Europe!
