New Music
One of the aims of Manchester Camerata is to stimulate and support the creation and performance of new music by up and coming composers, ensuring these works reach a wider audience, and have the durability beyond their first performance. In addition Manchester Camerata hopes to motivate public debate about contemporary music-making and performance through ground-breaking projects and collaborations with a variety of composers, performers and creative organisations. |
