We are in the early stages of creating an ambitious and transformational Future Fund, a growth fund to sustain our impact and our artistic excellence.
At a time when musicians, emerging talent, and the next generation of talent face huge challenges, securing the foundations becomes even more critical. Long-term support for Manchester Camerata celebrates a commitment to the ability of music to connect us all and to provide what Gábor calls the “spiritual healing power of music” for our time and as a gift for future generations of musicians, audiences and communities in Manchester, the North and more widely.
Our vision is for a different kind of capital investment, one that supports people rather than being tied up in buildings. This will be a Future Fund backed by people who love the arts and want to support the people who create the ”spiritual medicine” of our music – our musicians. The Fund will provide a long-term, crisis-proof, income stream to Manchester Camerata that means we can continue to deliver on our commitments to:
- Excellence and originality through the quality and craft of our musicians. The way we work and develop artists results in new performance standards and bold originality in all that we do. We take inspiration and energy from visionary leaders and risk-takers like Gábor Takács-Nagy. Above all, we operate and play with humanity, empathy, and compassion. We always seek to create human connections whenever and wherever we perform.
- Securing the future talent pipeline in Manchester and the North. We develop diverse talent and those who share our commitment to work both on the concert platform and with our local communities. We are committed to supporting and mentoring younger players who are the rising and future stars and will secure our artform, its excellence and originality, for everyone for the future.
We welcome conversations with philanthropists who are considering strategic support to the Future Fund, either as a lifetime gift or as a legacy. Please see further information on legacy giving here.
