Learning and Participation is at the heart of what Manchester Camerata does and each season we strive to use the music we play in the concert hall to inspire discovery projects for people of all ages.  Browse our current and previous season projects below.  If you'd like to get involved in some way - either as a young person, parent or teacher - then please get in touch Nick Ponsillo Head of Learning and Participation

2011/12 Season Learning Projects

 

 



Portrait of Place

In keeping with the overal theme for Manchester Camerata's 2011/12 Concert Series - Portraits of Music - we're working with schools from across Greater Manchester and the North West of England to gather images representing their locality - maybe their town, their school, local landmarks, or their trip to school. The idea is to create a photographic portrait of their area and then create a piece of music inspired by the collage they've created.
