His next piece - a solo cello work is currently in preparation and will be performed as part of Manchester's Up Close series on Wednesday 16 May 2012 at the Anthony Burgess Foundation. Brahim will also have an orchestral work performed at the Bridgewater Hall on Saturday 26 May 2012. |
| Brahim says, "Its been a terrific experience so far. Camerata and SAM have been really supportive, and along with the structure of the residency, the conditions have been ideal for pursuing a long term creative endeavor. The orchestra's music making is inspiring, and I've been gaining a lot from my interactions with staff, musicians, audiences, and learning participants". |
