Camerata in
the Community
Our work in the Community uses music to improve lives across cultural education and health & social care.
Be it providing vital music therapy for people living with dementia, training professional carers and running dementia Music Cafes as part of our Music In Mind programme, or empowering young people through our music-making work in schools, bringing together communities through music is at the heart of what we do. We work with a highly skilled group of specially trained professional musicians, music therapists, composers and theatre makers to develop and make this work happen, alongside more than ten years’ research partnership with The University of Manchester.
