Manchester Collective:
Known for their imaginative programming and daring collaborations, the work of Manchester Collective has expanded at breakneck speed since their formation in 2016. The shape-shifting ensemble plays in concert halls, gig venues and factory spaces across the UK and internationally, performing a combination of cutting-edge contemporary music, classical masterpieces, and staged work to a hungry, new audience.
Crossing different genres and art forms, new music is of vital importance to the Collective. In recent years, they have commissioned major works by artists including Edmund Finnis, Hannah Peel, Oliver Leith, Moor Mother, and Alice Zawadzki. They have made two appearances at Royal Albert Hall as part of the BBC Proms and are currently artists-in-residence at the Southbank Centre in London. In 2023, they won the prestigious RPS Award for Best Ensemble and released their third studio album, NEON. Manchester Collective record for the Icelandic label Bedroom Community.
