CHAMBER

Chamber - "Insane" high definition web version
Chamber's vision is exquisite acoustic music. Emotion, pleasure and power, a musical sensation for all senses. Classically instrumented, sweeping staged, created by a unique voice, touching, stirring songs and an ensemble of outstanding orchestra musicians.
Chamber is music for epicures!
