Welcome to the Manchester Camerata Blog

Manchester Camerata is one of the UK's leading Chamber Orchestras with concert series at The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester and at the Royal Northern College of Music - where we have a residency - but also regularly in Ulverston, Colne, Crewe and Stafford, and across the North West of England and Cumbria. We also have a vibrant education project with a special relationship with schools in Chester. Visit our main website at www.manchestercamerata.co.uk to read more about the orchestra and its plans and projects, for podcasts and vodcasts and to read news from the classical music world.

One Big Week!

Ta Da! At last details of the new 2010/11 Season are available - Urban Symphonies is a celebration of some of the cities across the world which have produced some amazing music for orchestra. Starting with Prague on the 25th September, we take in St Petersberg, Vienna, Dresden, Venice, New York and Washington! We've another exciting education project - read more here - and there's lots of creative collaborations with some obvious and not so obvious directions. Plus we're repeating our highly successful New Year's extravaganzas. To read details of the season - and download a brochure click here. This is also Douglas Boyd's last season as Music Director of Manchester Camerata, so we're making it a biggie! How about a trip to Switzerland? You can enter our competition to win a trip to Lucerne here.

But hang on - this Season isn't over yet! Kathryn Stott's joining Camerata tonight (21 May) in Stafford and tomorrow (22 May) at The Bridgewater Hall for another urban celebration in Paris, Vienna, London. Her 'back story' if you'll pardon the pun is fascinating. You can get a flavour of it by clicking here.

And looking slightly ahead, Manchester Camerata is providing the live music for an animated version of Peter and the Wolf, twice on 6 June at The Lowry. A great project and perfect to keep the kids content on a Sunday afternoon. Details here.
