The Manchester Collective on-line: streaming, interviews, practice diaries & more

On Saturday, the Manchester Collective will be streaming its most recent show, Cries and Whispers, on Facebook. The show was filmed live at the White Hotel in Salford, and features music for string quartet by Jorg Widmann, Britten, Shostakovich and Gesualdo.

In the absence of performing live, the group is developing quite a lively on-line presence. Today (Tuesday), Elizabeth Alker (from BBC 6 Music/Radio 3) will be chatting to the group's chief executive Adam Szabo in Instagram Live, to discuss how artists are coping, how can we all continue to make music and what's the best way to discover new music online?

And on Twitter and Instagram Stories you can follow artistic director Rahki Singh's practice diary.
