Our Board of Trustees helps steer our organisation. They provide us with passion and expertise, which drive us to excel. Recruiting for the Board is one of the most important things we have to do, and we are delighted to have four new highly skilled individuals joining us.
“This is an exciting time for Manchester Camerata with ambitious plans ahead, focusing even more on the impact our work can make.
We are incredibly excited to welcome these extremely skilled four new individuals to our Board of Trustees. We are sure they will help us thrive, and help us continue to elevate and enhance peoples lives through exceptional music.
Also, I would like to express my thanks to those who have stepped down from the Board for their tremendous contribution to Manchester Camerata and the communities we serve.” Steve Dauncey, Chair
