Beginning this December, Manchester Camerata presents an enchanting orchestral programme featuring achingly beautiful festive arrangements, Christmas carols with a gospel twist and a uniquely stirring candlelit tribute to the masters of baroque to commence the new year in style.
For each performance, the best seats in the house are available at £10 for under 30s (limited availability), £3 for Gorton Residents, £5 for Students and £5 for Under 16s + Booking fee.
In their final performance of 2023, the Camerata join AMC Gospel Choir on the Albert Hall Stage to continue their beloved annual Christmas tradition with a gospel-inflected carol concert featuring poignant yuletide favourites for the whole family to enjoy.
Billed as ‘an intimate celebration of baroque music’, the first concert of 2024 returns to the Great Nave of Gorton Monastery for another intimate yet resplendent in-the-round recital which evokes the peerless majesty of Bach, Vivaldi and Rameau with a programme of iconic violin and cello concertos.
Featuring solo performances from Manchester Camerata Leader Caroline Pether alongside Principal Cellist Hannah Roberts, Baroque by Candelight is led by Artistic Partner Daniel Pioro, a breathtakingly exciting violinist whose 2019 proms debut was described as ‘the most inventive and engaging’ by The Daily Telegraph.
