Making music in Manchester
since 1888
Today, we are an amateur orchestra attracting and welcoming members from across the Greater Manchester area. We are dedicated to showcasing a wide variety of classical music and supporting local and national charities at our performances here in our home city. Discover more about who we’ve been supporting over the years.
Our long and close relationship with our city endures as we provide an all important solo platform for the rising global stars in the world of classical music from the Royal Northern College of Music.
Our orchestra has a reputation for the friendly atmosphere of its rehearsals. We attract members from all over the Greater Manchester area and neighbouring counties. If you are interested in joining the orchestra then we would love to hear from you.
“The Manchester Beethoven Orchestra is about attaining the highest musical standards within our grasp, whilst always enjoying ourselves.”
