About us

Who we are

After 40 years of performing around the globe, Manchester Camerata is acknowledged as one of the UK’s leading chamber orchestras. With a reputation for bringing audiences first-class performances which are bursting with vitality, Camerata is truly a product of its creative environment - a twenty first century orchestra in one of the most exciting cities in the world. The orchestra performs to 115,000 people each year and is based in Manchester, presenting an annual series at The Bridgewater Hall, where they are the chamber orchestra in residence, as well as at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM). The orchestra also performs throughout the North West region and enjoys flourishing residencies in Stafford, Ulverston, Colne and Doncaster. The orchestra’s name is inspired by a 16th century group called the Florentine Camerata who met to share ideas and discuss the arts. It is this spirit of friendship that inspires Camerata’s widely praised approach to programming as well as their fresh and imaginative interpretations of a diverse range of chamber orchestra repertoire. In 2011, the orchestra appointed the great Hungarian musician Gábor Takács-Nagy, as Music Director, a post he took up in September that year. Nicholas Kraemer, the renowned Baroque expert, is Permanent Guest Conductor and this year celebrates 30 years of music making with the orchestra. The extraordinary violinist Gordan Nikolitch, Leader of London Symphony Orchestra, has been Camerata’s Principal Guest Director since 2006. Venezuelan/Italian violinist and rising star Giovanni Guzzo was appointed as Leader in July 2010. A central part of Manchester Camerata’s work is an innovative, vibrant and award-winning learning and participation programme. Often inspired by the orchestra’s work on the stage, the off stage work uses music as a way of enabling creative learning in many different educational and community settings. Each year, over 300 education activities take place across the North West. Principal supporters of all Manchester Camerata’s work are Arts Council England, the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities and Manchester City Council, and the orchestra also works with a wide range of other supporters from the business community. Manchester Camerata is one of only a handful of orchestras world-wide that is privileged enough to have a Stradivarius for their leader to play, thanks to the generosity of Jonathan Moulds, President of Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s European business.
