Meet Rakhi Singh, co-founder of the Manchester Collective, violinist, composer and more! In this week's episode we chat to the extremely creative Rakhi, who explores her identity through music in many ways, including composing, performing as a solo violinist (on her new album Purnima) and touring the country with her ensemble. She delves deep into the realities of being a touring musician: rest and recuperation, performance preparation, adrenaline, finding the balance, and also shares with us how and why she helped form the ensemble.
