Camerata and the Big Arts Give!

Composer Emily Howard commissioned to create piece for digital concert by Manchester CamerataDevelopment Manager Matt Freeman writes about the Big Arts Give! and plans for an exciting digital project.

"We're really pleased to announce that Classical Digital, a unique concert and digital project will be part of Manchester Camerata's 40th birthday celebrations, and the project has been accepted onto the Big Arts Give. Delivered as part of the 2012 Future Everything Festival, Classical Digital will feature two world premieres and represents Manchester Camerata’s second collaboration with the visionary Manchester Digital Development Agency.

 Although the entire concert will feature a number of digital elements the focal performance will be a unique commission from award winning Manchester composer Emily Howard. This commission will combine live orchestral music with the ringing of the Town Hall bells, an additional musical element which will be beamed into the concert hall via digital weblink.  If you want to know more then get in touch - on 0161 908 0042 or via email at mfreeman@manchestercamerata.com "
