On Tour with Manchester Collective: Wintering
22 November—5 December 2025
This winter, we join our friends Manchester Collective for a deeply restorative musical journey: Wintering. At a time of year when life can feel hectic and overwhelming, this series of concerts offers a space to rest and reflect.
Inspired by Katherine May’s Wintering, composer Samantha Fernando has created a new work that reflects on rest, renewal, and the quiet strength of nature. Blending our voices with Manchester Collective’s signature strings, we’ll share an intimate evenings of music spanning centuries, a celebration of winter’s beauty and its power to heal.
