Synbiosis
In Symbiosis, The Breath’s music is reimagined through the orchestrations by Vibrans for Paraorchestra’s
20-piece ensemble. Writing for rare and unusual instruments, Vibrans expands their sound into something both intimate and symphonic, creating rich new textures that magnify and transform the duo’s music into lush, unpredictable, and resonant landscapes.
The British Paraorchestra
Britain's first national orchestra for musicians with disability, founded in 2011 by Charles Hazlewood. Destined to alter perceptions of disabled professional musicians in the way the Paralympics has for athletes, it is an extraordinary group of musicians from the worlds of jazz, Indian, electronic and classical music with an already astonishing story and a free-spirited musical outlook.

The Breath
The Breath is Stuart McCallum (ex-guitarist of The Cinematic Orchestra), Irish singer Rioghnach Connolly and McCallum’s fellow Cinematic alumnus pianist John Ellis, along with drummer Elliot Bennett. Born out of Manchester’s fertile music scene they mix Irish folk influences with mesmerizing guitar riffs, anthemic themes and powerful hooks.
