Washington's Camerata was formed in 2009 and serves as Artists-in-Residence for the historic Washington Parish located at St. Peter's Episcopal Church. The ensemble, featuring flutists Alicia Kosack, Kelly Kazik, and Sarah McIver, and harpsichordist Elena Tsai, is dedicated to the performance of music of the 17th and 18th centuries and, especially, that of early flutes. The group's unique instrumentation and innovative programming bring charming and rarely heard music to life in an historic space.

The current building of St. Peter's Episcopal Church was consecrated in 1848 to house the Washington Parish, which was first organized in 1661. The parish was home to the Washington, Monroe, and Lee families. St. Peter's Episcopal Church is located at 2961 King's Highway, Oak Grove, VA 22443.
