🎉 Happy 70th Birthday to our legendary Music Director, Gábor Takács-Nagy! ⚓ Gábor has been at the helm of our organisation since 2010 and is a true inspiration to us all - a guiding light behind the Camerata sound. 💿 He has won countless awards and recorded some of the finest works – he is truly a living legend and a joy to watch conduct! ⚽️ So, we thought we’d surprise him with a gift inspired by his other great love… football 🚫 Disclaimer: Manchester Camerata is completely impartial over which is the greatest football team and will remain totally on the fence until deemed appropriate. The views of our conductors, music directors and players are their opinions only, and do not reflect the views of Manchester Camerata as a whole 🤪 🎟️ Great timing, as we're only one week away from our concert at the National Football Museum, so if you're into it just as much as Gábor, check it out!
