The word Camerata

votes
Could someone tell me what the word camerata means? I cannot find it in any dictionary. The sentence I saw it in is, director del Coro y la Camerata de la Universidad.
I know it it something related to music or performance but I can't quite figure it out.
Thanks.

Interesting that this word should not be listed somehow in the DRAE.
The reason may lie in the fact that this is supposedly of Italian origin, so I guess that is why.
Camerata is some kind of association or group, you get a lot of hits on google for it.
We do use cámera.
Música de cámera

I would guess that it means chamber and refers to a chamber orchestra.
