About Manchester Collective
Known for their experimental programming and daring collaborations, the work of Manchester Collective has expanded at breakneck speed since their formation in 2016. They now play in concert halls, warehouses and factory spaces across Europe and the UK, performing a combination of cutting edge contemporary music, classical masterpieces, and staged work to a hungry, new audience. New music is of vital importance to the Collective – in recent years, they have commissioned major works by artists including Edmund Finnis, Hannah Peel, Lyra Pramuk, and Laurence Osborn. Recent highlights include the creation of Dark Days, Luminous Nights, a daring installation made under lockdown with Blackhaine and Simon Buckley; Sirocco, the international sensation featuring South African cellist Abel Selaocoe & Chesaba; and the world premiere of Freya Waley-Cohen’s ‘Talisman’ for string orchestra, broadcast ‘Live in Concert’ for BBC Radio 3. Manchester Collective record for the Icelandic label Bedroom Community, most recently having released their debut album ‘The Centre is Everywhere’ in March 2021.
