Public benefits
Camerata Ireland's activities benefit the Northern Ireland public by offering high quality classical chamber music events during its annual Clandeboye Festival at a range of accessible prices. The Camerata Ireland chamber orchestra benefits the young, emerging musicians, from across the island of Ireland, who get the opportunity to perform with
established musicians and visiting internationally acclaimed soloists. Established musicians from across the island of Ireland get the opportunity to work with internationally acclaimed soloists and bring their talents to a wider audience on both sides of the border. Music students benefit from the Clandeboye Festival Academy programme through which they receive free masterclasses with visiting international soloists, as well as the opportunity to showcase their talents in performance. Many of the music students benefit from ongoing opportunities to perform with Camerata Ireland. Camerata Ireland's educational project work benefits children, young people, their families and wider communities by bringing high quality classical music performances to disadvantaged areas. Camerata Ireland's international touring activities raise awareness internationally of the high standard of classical musicianship across the island of Ireland. It also helps to develop the careers of the emerging and established musicians who perform with the orchestra. The benefits from Camerata Ireland's activities can be demonstrated through the ongoing popularity of the Clandeboye Festival and invitations to the orchestra to perform internationally. Many of the music students who have participated in the Clandeboye Festival Academy have gone on to develop professional careers in music; an outstanding example of whom is the pianist Michael McHale. One of Camerata Ireland's most recent education projects Harmony North involved 9 post-primary schools in North Belfast and culminated in a performance at the Kennedy Centre in Washington to mark the anniversaries of the Battle of the Somme and the 1916 Easter Rising.

Camerata’s mission is to harness the wealth of musical talent across the island of Ireland - to bring high quality chamber music both to those who love classical music and those who have previously had little access to it. To help ensure this accessibility to artistic excellence and to reach new audiences, the Orchestra presents a high quality
programme through the Clandeboye Festival, community- based projects in Belfast, performances throughout the island and international work. Camerata’s artistic programme balances its ambition to deliver high quality events at home while continuing to build a reputation for excellence internationally. Camerata is the gateway through which tomorrow’s gifted musicians from the island of Ireland connect with the rest of the world and is committed to developing all strands of its activities.
