The Da Camera Society was founded at Mount Saint Mary’s University in 1973 by MaryAnn Bonino with the intention of fostering the return of chamber music to the intimate environments for which it was conceived. The Society’s mission expanded over the years to embrace a wide variety of musical genres and educational programming celebrating the diverse communities of greater Los Angeles.

Through its Music in Historic Sites concert series the Society presents internationally acclaimed artists in programs matched to sites of architectural, historical, and cultural significance. Highly praised by music writers and commentators, concerts have been presented at such iconic sites as the Doheny Mansion, the Thomas Mann House, the Second Church of Christ Scientist (Art of Living Foundation), and the Villa del Sol d’Oro.
