Manchester Middays Concert Society 24/25 Season Launch
To launch the 24/25 Season of this esteemed lunchtime concerts series, Manchester Middays Concert Society presents a performance by the CLOUDS Harp Quartet.
CLOUDS is a uniquely original harp quartet; their genre-defying music astonishes audiences, and challenges traditional stereotypes of the harp.
Their music is composed by founding member Esther Swift, who draws on many influences including: Scottish folk music, minimalism, world music and improvisation. Remarkably, Esther’s compositional process does not include the scribing of her music, and so CLOUDS learn their music by ear, and perform it all from memory.
CLOUDS have released four albums: Clouds, Water, Golden Light and Up She Rises, which were all released alongside UK wide tours. Their discography shows an impressive development of their musical ideas, with their music evolving evermore complex and inventive soundworlds.
Established in 1915, the Manchester Mid-day Concerts Society supports emerging artists, and is one of the largest and most successful lunchtime concert series in the country.
