Hosted in collaboration by Manchester Camerata, The University of Manchester Music Department, and Creative Manchester
Following our lunchtime concert, join us for an insightful talk by acclaimed composer Daniel Kidane, hosted by Manchester Camerata, Creative Manchester, and the University of Manchester Music Department. Open to the public, this free event offers a unique opportunity to hear Daniel discuss his recent works including Be Still and Foreign Tongues, with live musical examples and a closer look at the scores including.
Kidane’s compositions are a vivid exploration of transnational identity, weaving together his multicultural heritage and diverse musical influences—from Eritrean folk to Soviet war songs and UK Jungle. His work often reflects the complex interplay of languages, both musical and cultural, and is deeply invested in championing diversity and challenging conventions within classical music.
Whether you’re an academic, music student, or simply interested in contemporary music, this talk promises to be engaging and interactive. Daniel is a passionate advocate for dialogue and invites you to bring your questions for an open Q&A session.
No ticket required—come along and be part of the conversation.
