Join us for an intimate sonic experiment where UnHeard presents original classical contemporary works by Manchester-based composers, inspired by literature, myth and popular culture for a combination of clarinets, saxophones, electronics, and the space.

The performance highlights the works of contemporary Manchester-based composers, each piece reflecting the fluid nature of our perceptions and realities, where light and dark, accompaniment and opposition, reality and imagination, collide and coexist.

One of the highlights of the performance will be the collaboration between award winning poet Samantha Weaver and composer Tywi Roberts with an outcome of music (acoustics and electronics) with spoken word performance depicting the scenery and people during a night walk blending imaginary and reality.

Join us to experience the creative outcome of artistic risk!
