SUMMARY:The Rheingans Sisters
DESCRIPTION:Forward thinking folk in Firth Hall from an incredible duo.\nAfter a decade releasing critically celebrated albums (BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners of ‘Best Original Track’ 2016 and ‘Best Group’ nominees in 2019) and touring across the UK\, Europe and Australia\, The Rheingans Sisters will release their much anticipated fifth studio album in autumn 2024. \nProduced by New York based Adam Pietrykowski (whose genre-diverse work spans rock and contemporary classical as well Lady Maisery’s latest album *Tender*) the visionary duo’s new album will accompany a brand new live show; a sonic and physical development of their live work so far creating an even more immersive musical journey for their audience. From baroque fiddle tunes to trance beats\, from metal-inspired arrangements of ballads to improvisations with phone voice-notes\, Rowan and Anna once again create like painters; revealing in bold colours the next grounded yet soaring contribution to the sisters’ already celebrated genre of “avant-garde trad” (Songlines).

SUMMARY:Manchester Camerata presents माया (Māyā)
DESCRIPTION:माया (Māyā) is a brand new composition by Rushil Ranjan\, commissioned by Manchester Camerata\, that fuses the sound of a Western Classical Orchestra with Carnatic Song. Carnatic music is widely considered to be the most ancient and pure form of music from the Indian subcontinent. With roots that lie in deeply spiritual and Vedic traditions it incorporates mathematical\, rhythmic complexity and raga to beautifully illustrate tales from Hindu mythology. ​Rushil Ranjan is a multi-disciplinary artist. His work across contemporary\, Sufi and classical music has earned him a reputation as one of the most distinctive and extraordinary musical voices around today. Manchester Camerata are the UK’s most relentlessly pioneering orchestra and regular guests of our series.
