Manchester Camerata becomes an official partner of Classic FM

The Manchester Camerata orchestra has become the newest official partner at Classic FM.

The partnership will see Classic FM support Camerata’s vision in the transformative power of music both through their live concerts and community-based programme.
This week, Classic FM listeners are hearing Manchester Camerata’s new recording of early Mozart piano concertos – the tenth volume of its acclaimed Mozart Made in Manchester series – because it’s Classic FM’s Album of the Week; Alexander Armstrong is championing it on-air daily around 11.15am.
Philip Noyce, Classic FM’s Managing Editor, said: “The team at Manchester Camerata echo our vision and enthusiasm to make classical music accessible and relevant to everyone, regardless of age or background, so this is a very exciting new partnership.
“From their captivating live concerts to their impactful community-based work, Manchester Camerata is blazing a trail in classical music and we are thrilled to welcome them as one of Classic FM’s official partners.”
Bob Riley, CEO of Manchester Camerata, said: “Classic FM has been synonymous with the UK orchestral landscape for over 30 years. We are constantly striving to create positive change within the industry and push beyond the traditional expectations of an orchestra – so to have Classic FM’s support with us on this journey is just magic.”

KCLR Daily surprises couple with gift of fertility hope

Two KCLR listeners have been given a course of free fertility treatment worth €6,500.
Daily talk show presenter Brian Redmond surprised Rebecca Doyle and Séan Doherty in the studio with news that they had been randomly selected to receive the treatment .
This was part of the Fertility Focus segment which had been running for the previous eight weeks on The KCLR Daily in association with First IVF, firstivf.ie.
When the couple initially came into studio, they were unaware they had been randomly selected from the many couples who had contacted the show expressing an interest in receiving the free course of treatment. They thought they had just been shortlisted to tell their story as part of the process.
Kathleen Chada – CEO of First IVF who later joined the couple in studio reiterated that the couple had been randomly selected but that their “application was just lovely and it touched all of our hearts.”
Professor Ray O’Sullivan also from First IVF admitted that he and his team back at base had tears in their eyes listening to Rebecca and Sean’s story on KCLR. There were similar emotions among staff in the KCLR building to the couple’s reaction to having been selected to receive the course of treatment.
Listen to Brian tell Rebecca and Séan that they had been selected to receive the course of free IVF treatment here. […]
