Amaretti Chamber Orchestra

The Amaretti Chamber Orchestra is a small string orchestra established in 2004 consisting of experienced amateurs, music teachers and professional players.

The orchestra has a varied repertoire ranging from Bach to Britten and perform in the South Manchester area, with excursions to Buxton as part of the Festival Fringe.

We were very pleased to win the “Best Music Event” award in the 2007 Buxton Festival Fringe.

Concerts support many local charities and to date have raised over £16,000 for Francis House Children’s Hospice, Alzheimer’s Society, Macmillan Cancer Support, St. Ann’s Hospice, Christie Hospital, Tsunami Disaster Fund, High Peak Hospicecare, Together Trust and the local branch of the NSPCC.
