Association of British Orchestras

Event Manager (Freelance)

Manchester Camerata Day Rate - To be agreed (dependent upon experience). Closing date 30 June 2023
Manchester Camerata is the UK’s most relentlessly pioneering orchestra. Our vision is for everyone’s life to be elevated and enhanced by exceptional music. Our purpose is to make music that matters; music for change This is who we are. This is what we do.

Through our music and our impact, we change the lives of people and the prospects of places. And we also reimagine what an orchestra can do - through debate, innovation, and craft. We show this not just through our actions, but also in the way that we work. Just as our namesake Florentine Camerata did in Renaissance Italy almost 500 years ago, we question, challenge, and celebrate what an orchestra can do.

We do not expect to find an ‘answer’ or an ‘end point’. This is a a pro. We will be relentless in following this path, continually setting new horizons of expectations for what a modern world-class orchestra can achieve.


We are looking to expand our pool of freelance Event Managers. This role would be varied; it could include managing international artists, stage managing for an orchestral recording or managing the orchestral musicians in a rehearsal. It could also include all of the above at once.

If you do not have experience of managing orchestral musicians, there is the opportunity to receive training in this, provided you have other comparable experiences.
