Violinist and artistic director Rakhi Singh, co-founder of the Manchester Collective and one of the most unique voices in British music, joins the Sinfonietta de Braga in the Contraponto cycle, in a program that summons contemplation, intensity and spirituality.

The strings become a space of landscape and transcendence: in Canticles of the Sky, by John Luther Adams, we hear layers that breathe vastness; in the recreation of Veni Creator Spiritus, Singh transforms the hymn into a web of liturgical echoes; and in Quasi una fantasia, by Henryk Górecki, an inner journey emerges where rhythm and silence come together in an arc of solemnity. The Counterpoint cycle celebrates the musical creation of the 20th and 21st centuries.
