As of this year, ManningCamerata has moved to Oxford! We have partnered with SJE Arts and are developing an annual programme of events based at St John the Evangelist Church. Bringing excellent, first-class musicians and music to the city, with a focus on 'sacred music in sacred spaces', and incorporating associated arts. We're also helping support the Church with its restoration fund and raising its profile as one of Oxford's most exciting arts destinations.

The Launch concert of ManningCamerata Chamber Orchestra in Oxford given by ManningCamerata Chamber players, director Ania Safonova, introduced by Peter Manning.

The Camerata is developing an Annual arts' residency and concert season in conjunction with SJE Arts to provide both sacred music in sacred spaces with vital new additions to exciting and original programming. Performances will be given with rising vocal and instrumental stars in tandem with World class performers leading on to special events and community outreach.

The ManningCamerata is an advocate for the re-appraisal of the British music opus and a re-energising of the Anglican Orchestral-Choral tradition.
