Manchester
Camerata has been performing high quality chamber music to the people
of Manchester, the North West of England and Cumbria for the best part
of 30 years.
Camerata
is committed to using the inspirational power of live music to transform
lives and celebrates its unique position as a chamber orchestra to deliver
this in the twenty first century in the concert hall, in schools across
the region, through reecordings, and increasingly in cyberspace!
Creativity
and energy are the hallmarks of Camerata’s work and reflect the spirit
of its home city, Manchester, where the orchestra is in residence at The
Bridgewater Hall and at the Royal Northern College of Music. It also performs
regularly in Ulverston, Colne and Stafford, with major education projects
in Chester.

Well, the name says it all. We will remember singers from the past but we will also note today’s operatic news and discuss future plans of interest.
Nostalgia items is what we mainly offer though ranging from reviews of cd’s, books, dvd’s, photos, singer profiles, discographies and much more dealing with legendary and not so legendary singers of yesteryear and yes, today as well.
Despite the 40'ish years that have passed the quality of sound is equal to any recordings available, particularly since the recording engineer utilised a very special and unique process, known as CNSTR, certified natural sound technique recording.

About the RVW Society
Vaughan Williams is today being recognised as a truly international composer of stature and integrity. Hardly a musical genre has been untouched or failed to be enriched by his work, which includes nine symphonies, five operas, film music, ballet and stage music, several song cycles, church music, and works for chorus and orchestra.
As a Society, we encourage and support RVW-related concerts, seminars, films, recordings, publications, festivals and events both in the U.K. and abroad, as well as recordings of lesser-known works by the composer through our own recording label 'Albion Records'. We are a friendly Society and welcome new members, whether scholar or lay man.
