"Bringing together such diverse musical influences and integrating the group's ideas into these in such a cohesive way was a huge undertaking, and the result was fabulous!" - Manchester Camerata, 2009

"It was very moving to see children perform a new piece inspired by the music of De Falla...of my homeland. If I had known it was going to be so good I would have asked them to perform it on stage." - Jaime Martin, Manchester Camerata's guest conductor.
