Announcing our 2026-2027 Haworth Emerging Artists
We’re delighted to announce a new cohort of Haworth Emerging Artists for 2026-2027. Three early-career musicians join us on this year-long programme to help them gain invaluable industry knowledge and develop key skills to support their work.
This year’s selected artists are:
Talland Quartet – an award-winning Manchester-based classical string quartet. All alumni of the Royal Northern College of Music, the quartet stars violinists Dylan Edge and Orla McGarrity, violist Rebecca Stubbs and cellist Nathan Jackson-Turner.
Grace O’Malley – a captivating musical storyteller and alumna of Chetham’s School of Music, Grace is a Manchester and London-based soprano working in opera, art song and character-led vocal performance.
Hera Piano Trio – an exciting chamber ensemble based in Manchester and formed of violinist Caterina Bordoni, cellist Gabriela Peres and pianist Winnie Su. They bring diverse cultures and individuality to their performance.
The Haworth Emerging Artists Scheme, now in its fourth year, supports early-career musicians to take the next steps in their professional careers through mentoring, performance opportunities, and engagement with students at Chetham’s School of Music. Our new cohort will receive guidance in marketing, fundraising, programming and general management from our in-house team, as well as the opportunity to perform in our outstanding chamber spaces, the Carole Nash Hall and Chetham’s Library’s medieval Baronial Hall. The scheme is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Haworth Trust.
You can see each artist perform in our Rush Hour Concert series this autumn and support emerging talent. These early-evening performances are the perfect way to avoid the end-of-the-day rush and will be just £5. Tickets to be announced soon.
Our Emerging Artists Scheme is just one of the ways we are committed to supporting diverse musical voices and inspiring a new generation of performers at Stoller Hall. We can’t wait to work with each of these artists and get to know them during their time on the programme.
