Learn & Discover
Learning and Participation is central to our work and runs hand in hand with our concert season. Inspired by pieces within the programme our projects are all about exchanging ideas.
Musicians, young people, teachers and artists from other disciplines draw ideas together into work which has its strengths in creative exploration.
If you would like to get involved with our Learning and Participation work, please contact Charlotte Spencer, Head of Learning and Participation, on 0161 226 8696 or email cspencer@manchestercamerata.com
Budding songwriters at Beethoven concert
Mon 1st Feb 10 - 11:00
"It was fantastic, a once in a life time experience and it sounded just like a CD".
Children from St Andrew’s CE Primary, Littleborough were invited to attend Manchester Camerata’s special performance of Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony on 27 January at The Bridgewater Hall.
The special performance of Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony by Manchester Camerata, one of the country’s leading chamber orchestras, included introductions by the Hall’s poet-in-residence, Terry Caffrey who, together with Camerata musicians, took the children on a musical journey.
One of the aims of the concert was to familiarise the children with the experience of an event in The Bridgewater Hall. Many of them will be performing there themselves at a gala concert on 19 April as part of the Songbook of the Earth Learning and Participation project, which Manchester Camerata is currently running with The Bridgewater Hall’s Community Education Trust.
