Manning Camerata

Posted on Thursday, March 1, 2007

Yesterday I attended a drinks party to welcome the Manning Camerata here to St Albans. Peter Manning is a musician of the absolute highest calibre and it's very exciting that he has teamed up with my friends at St Albans Arts to create this new relationship with the city, which till now has not had a resident professional orchestra.

There are two concerts booked for this year, including an all Elgar concert in June and in April a concert that includes the BBC Young Musician of the year, clarinetist Mark Simpson. I really enjoyed Mark's playing in the competition so I'm looking forward to hearing him.
