Manchester Camerata Principals concert: incl. Mozart, Barber, 5:30pm
A classical concert by five illustrious soloists, playing together as Manchester Camerata Wind Quintet, starts our 2025 season.
Starting at 5:30pm, the concert runs until 7:30pm, including an interval for refreshments and drinks. Tickets are just £10. Free parking nearby. Manchester Camerata’s principal wind players Amina Hussain (Flute) and Rachael Clegg (Oboe) are joined three other Principals for this performance: Mandy Burvill (clarinet); Wendy Cox (horn) and Benjamin Hudson (bassoon).
Programme Part 1: Mozart’s Magic Flute overture K.620, Farkas's Hungarian Dances for Wind. Samuel Barber's Summer Music Op.31 and Amy Beach's Pastorale for Wind Quintet .
Part 2: Valery Coleman - Umoja (Anthem of Unity), Paul Paterson Comedy for Five Winds op.14 (1972), and Arturo Marquez – Dansa de Mediodia
Manchester Camerata is the leading chamber orchestra in the NW region, renowned for critically acclaimed recordings of Mozart’s piano concerti and opera overtures. A rare opportunity to hear five acclaimed principals perform together in an ensemble, this special wind quintet programme was chosen by performer Rachael Clegg, to celebrate the greats of North American music, alongside pieces from the orchestra’s 'Mozart, Made in Manchester' series.
Each year, ACCS puts on four or five high-standard, usually classical concerts [sometimes jazz] in the mediaeval Adbaston church, which has very good acoustics. Our aim is to make professional concert level music available in Stafford Borough area, at an affordable £10: audience around 60 – 80 people, sometimes more. We try to give a platform to regional artists and to developing international talents who will benefit from the exposure for building their professional concert CVs.
ACCS is grateful to Manchester Camerata, SDAC, and The Harding Trust and patrons for their support.
