Peaceline Perspectives: Belfast to Berlin

Join Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble as they bid farewell to Belfast…for a few days at least!

The group have been chosen from over 200 hopefuls to perform a showcase concert in Berlin at Classical:NEXT, the world’s premiere classical music conference. But before they depart, you are invited to join the ensemble for a sneak preview of the specially curated programme they will bring to Germany: Peaceline Perspectives - Voices from a Divided City.

Featuring music by 3 Northern Irish composers, interwoven with sound pieces featuring voices and stories from Belfast, the performance lasts just 40 minutes. In Berlin Hard Rain will perform for a worldwide audience of concert and festival promoters, shining a spotlight on the wealth of musical creativity in Belfast and Northern Ireland.

Join the musicians of Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble on the 12th May as they set off on their Berlin adventure!
