Hot news! We have the results of our first poll - Audiences should only clap at the end of concerts. Clearly 15 votes is hardly representative of the nation as a whole, but who knows, after Thursday it might be enough to form a government :-). But our survey said .... 60 per cent said `Relax, go with the flow' while 33 per cent said `Absolutely, don't ruin the moment. One per cent said you should clap in the middle of a concert to reward a masterley performance, and no one it seems didn't mind either way!
For our May Poll (no pun intended) we're asking about the future of Classical Music. There are some, cellist Natalie Clein included, who believe the genre's on the slide and needs all the help it can get. Click here to read her thoughts in Sunday's Telegraph Online. And then cast your vote!

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.
