— ,Hall
Image for Hania Rani NON FICTION

Hania Rani performs the world premiere of Non Fiction alongside Manchester Collective assembled as a 45-piece Orchestra with Rakhi Singh, conductor Hugh Brunt, Jack Wyllie & Valentina Magaletti. 

Hania Rani is a multi-award winning composer and pianist who moves effortlessly between the worlds of classical and experimental music.

Non Fiction is Rani's first piano concerto and symphonic piece composed partially in response to the discovery in 2020 of the compositions of a young music prodigy, Josima Feldschuh, written during the horrors of World War II in the Warsaw Ghetto. Moved by the young girl’s story, Rani chooses to examine it through the lens of current horrors in both Ukraine and Gaza, and how we observe them through modern media. In doing this, Rani investigates the constant coexistence of harmony and disorder, creating a sonic metaphor for the survival of the human spirit when faced by violence and uses the emotional value of sound to make these somehow distant conflicts more relatable to us on a human level.
