Fran & Flora (Francesca Ter-Berg (cello) and Flora Curzon (violin)) have rapidly established themselves in folk, avant-garde and pop music circles with their distinctive improvisatory style and ethereal aesthetic. The duo draws its material directly from archival recordings, recovered manuscripts and study with traditional music masters.

Balladeste (Tara Franks (cello) and Preetha Narayanan (violin)) have crafted a distinctive musical language that seamlessly weaves together contemporary classical, Indian, baroque, and folk traditions. Ambient, soulful, and full of quiet power, Balladeste's live shows are as emotionally resonant as they are musically adventurous, as Free Range audiences will know from their extraordinary performance in 2023 with the poet Kelvin Corcoran.

Workshop Collective is an octet formed by saxophonist Matt Miles to provide a platform for collaboration and experimentation. Some of the region's best jazz performer-composers meet regularly to workshop each other's pieces and develop personal approaches to writing for a chamber jazz orchestra.

The Leon String Quartet play repertoire, write their own music and collaborate with a wide range of artists. Previously at Free Range they have played Shostakovich, collaborated with adventurous folk group Arlet and played the polytemporal music of experimental rock composer and guitarist Joe Inkpen.

Members of these two groups combine to perform two new collaborative pieces commissioned by Free Range especially for this performance.
