Something has to change.
Unquiet is a new music series for the brave and the curious devised by acclaimed conductor and composer Robert Ames and brought to life by the world renowned Manchester Camerata alongside a rotating cast of artists.
For this show, the Manchester Camerata Ensemble will perform alongside rising electronic artist Carmen Villain who presents a world premiere of a commissioned work by the orchestra called ‘Faces’. The programme also contains a new commission from Afrodeutsche and work by Bryce Dessner, Hildur Guðnadóttir and Philip Glass.
Support for the tour will come from Robert Ames’ collaboration with Ben Corrigan, CARBS*, who released their self-titled debut album earlier this year.
*Please note, in a change to the originally advertised programme, Robert Ames will now be performing a solo set rather than CARBS with Ben Corrigan.
