Unheard: Hidden Cabinet Concert at Saul Hay Gallery

Hidden Cabinet is a series of intimate, site-specific performances where original classical contemporary music meets the hidden gems in the city. Each event is a one and only experience with a program shaped by the uniqueness of the venue and the way the music interacts with the physical space. Each performance explores the interplay between a range of clarinets, saxophones, electronics, and the unique character of the venue itself.

The performance features compositions by Manchester-based award-winning composers, inspired by literature, myth and popular culture for a combination of clarinets, saxophones, electronics, and the space. Each piece being fragile, drawing audience proximately to an intimate sonic experience.

One of the highlights of the performance will be a free improvisation inspired by current exhibition in Saul Hay Gallery*.
