As Artists in Residence, Phaedra Ensemble and Kings Place are creating a space for adventurous music-making that crosses boundaries of genre, tradition and concert format.

Together, they are exploring ideas at the heart of Origins Unwrapped through thoughtfully curated programmes that connect music with themes of migration, landscape, identity and belonging.

From the intimate storytelling of chamber music to immersive experiences that transform the relationship between performers and audience, the residency embraces curiosity, discovery and new perspectives.

Bringing together contemporary classical music, ambient sound worlds and overlooked voices, Phaedra’s residency invites audiences to listen differently and experience music in fresh and unexpected way
