Manchester Camerata Appeal

MANCHESTER CAMERATA have launched an appeal to raise £250,000 to secure the orchestra’s recovery – in other words, to offset the cumulative loss of income from their cancelled performances – but also to secure their impact during this pandemic. This is their vision behind Untold.

Untold is a series of films each telling the remarkable and intimate stories of real people in our community through film, storytelling, prose and - of course - stunning music performed at The Monastery in Gorton by Camerata musicians and collaborators. Directed by the Manchester-based award-winning drama and documentary filmmaker, Paul Sapin, each film tells a different story addressing universal themes of identity, belonging, loss and love, bound by the same clear goal –‘to heal through music’ (Gábor Takács-Nagy, Music Director). So far, the orchestra has raised £119,000. However, they still have £131,000 to raise. Without individual donations, the rest of the series will not happen and the orchestra’s future is at risk. Manchester Camerata asks that you please consider making a donation to their urgent appeal to help them survive this pandemic and secure the future of live performance. Your donation will mean such a lot to their musicians and will give them hope at a time when life is very difficult.
