Manchester Camerata concert
The Angel in the Marble

Manchester Camerata has a reputation for creating stunning musical experiences right here in our very own city. This September, they are joined by violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen, presenting the world premiere of Nick Martin's 'Violin Concerto', a love letter to the work of sculptor Dame Barbara Hepworth.

Nick Martin is a composer based in Copenhagen. Composed whilst staying in St Ives, Nick says, “A particular point of inspiration has been Barbara Hepworth’s Landscape Sculpture—a carved torso-sized, cradle-like form in elm with nine strings of fishing line. I found the number nine resonant, suggestive of the nine months of pregnancy.”

Nick's composition will be presented alongside music by Mozart, Britten, and Priaulx Rainier, all celebrating themes of youth or with a connection to Hepworth herself. There will also be a pre-concert talk on Hepworth.

Don't miss this exploration of sculpture, music, and art.
