Unquiet: Carmen Villain and Manchester Camerata

Unquiet is the progressive new live experience devised by acclaimed conductor and composer Robert Ames and brought to life by the world renowned Manchester Camerata alongside a rotating cast of artists.

The Manchester Camerata Ensemble will perform alongside rising electronic artist Carmen Villain who presents a world premiere of a commissioned work by the orchestra called ‘Faces’. Following a live set from Carmen Villain, the Manchester Camerata will join her for the new piece.

Before that Ensemble will perform work by AFRODEUTSCHE, Bryce Dessner, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Philip Glass, and Mica Levi.

Support comes from Robert Ames’ collaboration with Ben Corrigan, CARBS, who released their self-titled debut album earlier this year.
