The dynamic Manchester Camerata return to Lancaster, this time at The Priory for a programme that brings together two powerful musical voices, separated by centuries but united in their spirit of innovation and defiance.
The concert opens with Anna Meredith’s Lanolin, who is celebrated as one of the most inventive composers in contemporary British music and sets the tone for an evening that celebrates breaking boundaries. Beethoven’s String Trio in D Major No. 2 showcases the fearlessness that marked him out as the ultimate disruptor of his time. Meredith’s Scrying shifts the mood again as this rhythmic piece merges contemporary classical, electronica, and experimental rock. Beethoven’s Septet closes the evening with one of his most loved masterworks. From Meredith’s genre-blurring soundscapes to Beethoven’s rule-breaking works, this concert is a tribute to dissent as a creative force, sparking new ideas and new ways of listening.
Manchester Camerata is known for their unstoppable energy. They have opened Glastonbury festival with an orchestral rave, performed in the world's most iconic concert venues and broken-down barriers by collaborating with artists from different backgrounds and genres.
