Manchester Collective: The Open Fund For Organisations
Manchester Collective Commissions New Work from Jasmin Kent Rodgman
Manchester Collective is a new kind of arts organisation, built for a fresh and diverse musical world. We create intimate and intense human experiences inspired by the music that we love, for everyone. We are the true believers. We passionately believe in the power of music to move us and to excite us. It doesn’t matter to us if you’re a seasoned concert-goer, or if it’s your first time. All are welcome. From the concert hall to the factory, from the recital room to the mill, the only thing we ask of you is that you open your ears and let yourself listen. Really listen. And in return, we will create something extraordinary.
Our 2023-24 season will open with new work from Jasmin Kent Rodgman, supported by the PRS Foundation’s Open Fund. A British-Malaysian artist and composer, Jasmin is one of the most exciting of a new generation bringing together contemporary classical music with electronics and sound art worlds. In our touring project ‘Different Trains’ her work will provide a natural counterpoint to Steve Reich’s cult masterpiece, an exploration of speech, history, and memory.
