UNQUIET is the progressive new live experience 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 regional tour (29 October – 8 November), 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’. Following a live set from Carmen Villain, the Manchester Camerata will join her for the new piece, then they will go on to perform work by AFRODEUTSCHE (commissioned by Manchester Camerata and NEWFORM with support from PRSF, it will be the first time this music is performed in a new seven piece arrangement for strings), Bryce Dessner, Hildur Gudnadottir, Philip Glass, and Mica Levi. Support for the tour will come from Robert Ames’ collaboration with Ben Corrigan, CARBS, who released their self-titled debut album earlier this year.

UNQUIET exists to bring people together to escape the algorithm. It is a new live music series for the brave and curious, for those seeking a deeper adventure. UNQUIET will meet music fans where they already are, creating a new way to experience the orchestra as a pathway to transcendence.

About Manchester Camerata:
Manchester Camerata prides itself on an original combination of craft and courage. With five star reviews from The Independent, as well as the accolade of being hailed ‘Britain’s most adventurous orchestra’ (The Times), the orchestra is as comfortable opening Glastonbury Festival as it is recording Mozart at the highest level. They are passionate about the traditional craft of an orchestra and how it is evolving. By excelling artistically and having the courage to prioritise bold, compelling and diverse projects, Camerata make a positive difference not only to their audiences but to the health and wellbeing of their communities as well.

 

About Carmen Villain:
The diverse sonic worlds that Carmen Villain has built over her career invite the listener to explore depths, caverns, and intimacy within a discography shaped by her natural curiosity of sound, and of seeing the potential for music in everything. Signed to Smalltown Supersound, her new album ‘Only Love From Now On’ has garnered praise from the like of The Fader, RA and Pitchfork who described it as “her most dynamic—and unpredictable—album yet.”

 

About CARBS:
LCO co-founder and conductor Robert Ames and composer Ben Corrigan are CARBS, their new collaborative project. Corrigan, a composer and podcast host, and Ames, a conductor, composer and curator, are often the people who bring other artists’ music to life. On their debut album – also called CARBS – they had the opportunity to explore their voices as music makers, creating sound that’s both cinematic and danceable, built on lush harmony, catchy patterns and driving rhythms that form an outer space trance.
