Here We Are: Emily Mercer x Manchester Camerata
Manchester Camerata Returns to The Met with Emily Mercer
We’re performing for free at The Met, Bury, as part of our ‘Here We Are’ festival. This initiative brings world-class live music to all ten boroughs of Greater Manchester, reinforcing our commitment to making world-class music accessible to everyone.
Join us for an evening of musical collaboration featuring our musicians, alongside the incredibly talented singer/songwriter, Emily Mercer. A distinguished artist from The Met’s Talent Development Programme, Emily Mercer’s unique sound seamlessly blends indie-pop hooks, jazz-inspired harmony, and classic piano songwriting. This special performance coincides with the launch of her highly anticipated debut album, ‘Read Aloud’, set to release on September 18th, 2026.
Following a sold-out performance at The Met last year, we anticipate high demand for this free concert. The program will feature arrangements by Richard Taylor.
This event is a testament to the vibrant music scene in Greater Manchester; don’t miss out!
‘Amazing recommendation’ – Guy Garvey, BBC 6 Music
