Following their Proms debut last year, Paraorchestra return for a unique collaboration. Award-winning duo The Breath, featuring guitarist Stuart McCallum and singer/instrumentalist Ríoghnach Connolly, is known for its understated take on ambient, folk and gentle psychedelia.
Led by Artistic Director Charles Hazlewood, Paraorchestra bring their fearless and holistic approach to large-scale music-making, working with composer Oliver Vibrans to translate The Breath’s unique soundworld into an orchestral space – all combined with ethereal vocals for an other-worldly landscape.
