The Cameo Orchestra provides opportunities for players of all ages and abilities to dust off an instrument and have fun making music together. We usually run two Play Days per season and the music is based on repertoir Manchester Camerata will be playing in a Manchester concert. You'll get expert coaching from Camerata musicians but the idea is to have fun and make friends while developing orchestral technique and sound quality. For further details contact Camerata's Head of Learning & Participation Nick Ponsillo on 0161 226 8696 or via nponsillo@manchestercamerata.com |

The next Cameo Orchestra Play Day of the season will be on Sunday 27th March 2011, where we will be focusing on Bizet’s Carmen Suite and l'Arlesiénne Suite (selected movements). Under the guidance of two experienced Manchester Camerata musicians, you will have the opportunity to advance your orchestral techniques as well as your own instrumental skills.
“[I particularly enjoyed] the environment, fellowship, friendly atmosphere, positive technical improvement as a result of top professional advice.”
