New Music: Rakhi Singh, violin

As director of the magnificent Manchester Collective, Rakhi has appeared with the group in venues all over the world, and in the UK Rakhi has toured in venues ranging from a converted garage by Strangeways Prison, to the BBC Proms. As a soloist, Rakhi is also a major presence on the new music circuit, performing programmes that showcase her musical sensitivity, virtuosity and unique energy in works from the Baroque to the present day.
