The Manchester Collective:

In their debut performance in Bristol we’re delighted to launch an exciting new relationship with the ground breaking Manchester Collective, playing a moving and powerful programme of otherworldly music.

Known for their brilliant programming and daring collaborations the Collective combine cutting edge contemporary music with classical masterpieces and staged work. They are ‘genuinely one of the most exciting performing groups right now,’ (BBC Radio 3) who make their BBC Proms debut in 2021 with Mahan Esfahani (a programme they’ll be bringing to St George’s in November). For this concert, they take us to the dark and lonely depths of the Pacific Ocean, where the whales are singing. Listen closely…can you hear them?
