This concert is part of the Sound Out Leeds 2023/24 series. 

We take you on a beautiful, intimate, and reflective musical and cinematic experience.

Absorb the remarkable sounds of 21st-century string quartet music by Philip Glass, Ben Nobuto, Arvo Pärt, Ayanna Witter-Johnson and Shiva Feshareki.

Then, surrender yourself to the stunning short film [ B R E A T H E ], an original orchestral work made especially for the screen. Featuring newly commissioned music from critically acclaimed composer Daniel Kidane, poet Roma Havers, music creator Ben Nobuto and directed by River Rea Films, the film will transport you to the historic Victoria Baths in Manchester.

[ B R E A T H E ] invites you to immerse yourself in meditative sounds and spectacular visual landscapes, to pause and reflect, breaking from the fast-paced world we live in today, holding you in a space of well-being and mindfulness.

[ B R E A T H E ] is produced by Orchestras Live in association with Manchester Camerata and River Rea Films.
