Scottish star guitarist Sean Shibe joins forces with Manchester Collective for the first time in an artistic meeting of minds that is long overdue. The set is an ever-changing musical melting pot, demonstrating the extraordinary range of these boundary-breaking performers.
At the heart of the programme are a pair of new works written for Sean and the Collective. British artist Emily Hall writes music that inhabits the spaces between genres – classical, electronic and folk traditions are absorbed and reimagined to create work that is intimate, touching and altogether new. New York composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Kelly Moran also walks an artistic tightrope, poised somewhere between the experimental, the wild and the human.
