Putting the Orchestra in its Place: Partnership, Community and the Dynamics of Collaboration at the Manchester Camerata's 'new home' in Gorton

该项目旨在研究曼彻斯特室内乐团在社区工作中的合作动态，特别是因为它涉及到地方和社区调解古典音乐，记忆和归属的方式。该项目的时间安排是为了利用和研究卡梅拉塔和戈顿社区之间关系的新阶段，因为经过七年的合作，它现在在修道院有一个永久的家。在Camerata和曼彻斯特大学之间成功和长期的合作伙伴关系的基础上，该项目将借鉴Camerata的专业知识和过去的经验，提出以下首要问题：是什么因素支撑了那些为Camerata工作的人，与Camerata和/或参与其项目的人对修道院和戈顿作为一个地方的反应？该项目将与越来越多的学者合作，这些学者调查了古典音乐组织对EDI倡议的方法，扩大参与，推广，音乐社区，城市再生和音乐教育，其中大部分为古典音乐世界提出了问题，充其量，不舒服。通过对本身就是协作的协作动态进行批判性研究，该项目植根于民族音乐学方法论，无论是概念上（在关注社区和地方方面）还是实践上（在实地工作方法方面）。

This project seeks to examine the dynamics of collaboration in the community work undertaken by the chamber orchestra Manchester Camerata, specifically as it relates to the ways in which place and community mediate classical music, memory and belonging. The project is timed to take advantage of, and research, a new phase in the relationship between the Camerata and the community in Gorton, as after seven years of collaboration it now has a permanent home there at The Monastery. Building on the successful and longstanding partnership between the Camerata and the University of Manchester, the project will draw on the Camerata's expertise and past experience to ask the following overarching question: what factors underpin the ways in which those who work for the Camerata, with the Camerata and/or participate in its projects respond to the Monastery and to Gorton as a place?The project will engage with the growing body of scholarship that has investigated classical-music organisations' approach to EDI initiatives, widening participation, outreach, music community, urban regeneration, and music education, much of which poses questions for the classical-music world that are, at best, uncomfortable. By producing a critical study on the dynamics of collaboration that is itself collaborative, the project is rooted in ethnomusicological methodologies, both conceptually (in terms of a focus on community and place) and practically (in terms of fieldwork methods).
