Today we are thrilled to release our conversation with violinist and co-founder of the Manchester Collective, Rakhi Singh. Speaking with Rakhi was so joyful and restorative. We discuss her life within the Manchester Collective, how they continue to push boundaries and what ‘daring collaborations’ mean. We go on to talk about chamber music and the ways in which we can feel restricted in the definition we have created within classical music. Rakhi suggests a more integrative and whole approach to music education, asking why playing pieces that we actually enjoy can so often not be our top priority when studying. We also question why classical musicians only learn three types of scales, how to embrace feeling lost and spirituality within music. Thank you to Rakhi for your openness and kindness, we are really grateful to be sharing this conversation with you all. Support the show
