Manchester Collective: The Turning at | yn Dinefwr
Join us for an evening of brave, experimental new music in the Dining Room of Dinefwr, near Llandeilo.
Under white noise and digital chatter, an ancient planetary pull… It’s late spring when the evenings are starting to glow. On the horizon, the longest day of the year. Put the world on pause and lose yourself in a sound world where earthy Celtic folk flows into lively improvisations and brave, experimental new music. Sisters Rakhi and Simmy Singh spent their early years in the Welsh countryside, immersed in a blend of traditional Indian music, Western classical and folk.
Now, they thread together these diverse influences in this intimate performance for violin duo and electronics, drawing us into the mysterious rhythms of the natural world. Nature may be a source of healing and inspiration, but our relationship with it is both precious and extremely fragile. ‘No One Is Too Small To Make A Difference’ is a journey in six parts, capturing the urgency of the environmental movement. Not just a lament for what’s lost, but ultimately a call for active hope and radical action. The great turning is here and now – there’s no escaping it.
Please note:
- Park in the main car park for Dinefwr, walk up towards the house, enter through the main door.
- Drinks and simple snacks will be available to purchase, feel free to bring your own.
- There is even access to the Dining Room, on pea gravel surfaced paths. There will be wooden chairs for seating.
- All ages welcome.
Known for their imaginative programming, daring collaborations and engaging performances, Manchester Collective perform a combination of cutting-edge contemporary music, classical masterpieces and staged work in spaces ranging from concert halls to warehouses, nightclubs to festivals. New music and collaboration are of vital importance to the Collective; they commission and present work by some of today’s most exciting artistic voices, crossing different genres and artforms.
