We are excited to announce the details of our new album with Hannah Peel, The Unfolding; set for release on 1 April 2022 via Real World records, and available for pre-order from today.

The Unfolding is an extraordinary eight-part collaboration between Mercury and Emmy nominated Northern Irish composer Hannah Peel, Paraorchestra, and Charles Hazlewood, recorded in precious morsels of time around the global pandemic. There are pieces of music that seek to tell us deeper stories. Others harness the talents of the players at their disposal in adventurous ways. Then there are the rare, generous works that make us think back to our roots as human beings and to our shared beginnings in the universe, that lift us in their melodies, rhythms and textures, that carry us with them. The Unfolding is all of these things.

The Unfolding also explores our progressive idea of what an orchestra should be, mixing analogue, digital and assistive instruments with a unique ensemble of disabled and non-disabled musicians to make magic happen.

As soon as the cloaked figures carrying torches of light to the strains of ‘Ave Maria’ completed their journey, leading us to a golden sunrise followed by the end credits, I would immediately rewind the VHS, watching it again from the start with unhindered enthusiasm.
