Meliora Collective live in Parbold, Lancashire

Don’t miss the chance to hear this dynamic and versatile ensemble of nine spirited young musicians. Recent graduates of the UK’s conservatoires, each member of the Meliora Collective brings a strong musical identity to the group.

Described as a ‘pocket orchestra’, the players’ shared love of chamber music shines through in their performances. Their flexible way of working enables them to perform in differently sized groups, and to programme a wide range of music including well-known pieces, arrangements of symphonic works and new compositions. Audiences love the wonderfully varied sound worlds they create, and the delicate details that chamber music reveals.

Their programme includes Brahms’ enchanting Serenade No.1, a work so symphonic in its original version for nonet, that Brahms destroyed the manuscript and rescored it for full orchestra.
