Sponsors and Patrons

The magical experience that the Camerata Ireland Orchestra has given to its alumni and current musicians as they start their professional careers and to its audiences worldwide gives it a unique position in the world of orchestral music. The opportunity to play with a remarkable line up of universally acclaimed conductors and soloists every year in residence and on tour brings young Irish musicians to a new level of performance.

But it's an experience that comes with an associated cost - from the annual concert schedule that visits Boston, Washington, Paris, Chicago and London to the 1 week intensive summer coaching and performance period at the Clandeboye Festival in County Down every August.

The Orchestra is an Irish-based not-for-profit organisation which promotes cultural, artistic and musical excellence through its support of young Irish musicians.

Camerata Ireland is currently seeking funding from commercial sponsors, institutions and private individuals to support the professional development of the Orchestra musicians and expand the range of its educational activities.

Camerata Ireland has been fortunate to count on the support of

The Friends Programme

At the Clandeboye Festival each year, we give young Irish musicians a unique week long experience; training and playing with brilliant international artists.

The Clandeboye Festival gives you the ideal opportunity to enjoy Camerata Ireland in Northern Ireland and the rewards of the Friends of Camerata Ireland Programme.

We would be delighted to welcome you as a Friend of Camerata Ireland.
