The Beating Wing Orchestra is a Manchester based international music collective that includes musicians from refugee and migrant backgrounds. Countries of origin include England and Wales, Kurdistan and Cameroon, Bangladesh and Brazil. The band was brought together for the first Manchester International Festival in 2007 to perform with composer Reem Kelani, and again in 2009 to collaborate with acclaimed Malian musicians Amadou and Mariam. The groups unique refugee membership coupled with their recent collaborations with contemporary international artists make the Beating Wing Orchestra one of the most promising and creatively exciting groups operating in the North West and the UK today.
