Manchester Symphony taking shape


Get to the Royal Northern College of music early this Saturday for the first installement of Manchester Camerata's education project Urban Symphony. 

Over the coming season 120 primary school children from across Greater Manchester will be working with Camerata musicians, architects and a visual artist to create a Manchester Symphony inspired by the city's architecture. The responsibility of creating the Symphony's first movement fell to a group of Year 5 children from St Philips Church of England Primary School, in Hulme. They've been spending the week exploring the classical and neo-classically inspired architecture of Manchester, gaining inspiration for a musical performance.

The pre-concert performance starts at 6.30pm Saturday 23 October 2010 at RNCM Concert Hall, Manchester, with the main concert Pictures at an Exhibition startiing at 7.30pm
