Be it opening Glastonbury Festival in front of 40,000 people or working in care homes across Greater Manchester with people living with dementia, Manchester Camerata believes in the transformative and connecting power of music. It constantly challenges and redefines what an orchestra can do.

Their groundbreaking Music in MindTM programme, supported by 12 years of research with the University of Manchester, positions them as world leaders in music and dementia healthcare. The recent designation as the UK's first Centre of Excellence for Music and Dementia underscores this impact.
