Where We’re From

Sun 11 May 2025, 3pm,
The Monastery

A new pair of concerts celebrating our roots, heritage, history, and what it means to be a modern-day 21st-century Orchestra.

Where We’re From will explore ideas around our namesake, The Florentine Camerata – a society of musicians, intellectuals, artists, philosophers and scientists residing in Florence in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The Camerata constituted not only a forum for theoretical discussions but also a workshop or ‘laboratory’ for the creation and performance of music, sometimes described as an ‘invisible college’. This concert will be brought to life by our players right in the Great Nave of our home The Monastery, Gorton.

Where We Are will be a concert featuring music that represents who we are today, ranging from Mozart to some of the contemporary composers we have worked with or played with over the last 10 years. To find out more about this concert, click here.

With thanks to Dr David Shreeve for his strategic philanthropic support.

On sale soon.
