Rarescale is back for a our Spring Season!

We are delighted to continue our collaboration with East Midlands chamber ensemble rarescale, presenting a series of musical performances responding to our current exhibitions Lines That World a River لکیروں سے دریا تھامنا by Shahana Rajani and Cemetery of Martyrs from Dala Nasser.

The rarescale Kingma Ensemble with Carla Rees, Sophie Hooper and Gavin Stewart (a trio of flutes) will present free improvisations and new works composed especially for the ensemble in three performances held in Studio 1. The programme will include the premiere of Dawn Chorus by Iranian Composer Davood Jafari.

Kingma Ensemble was formed as part of rarescale’s Professional Development scheme, helping to provide performance opportunities and ensemble playing experience to early career performers under the leadership of rarescale’s Director, Carla Rees.
