Cat'S Cradle Collective

We are looking forward to our next performance at the Royal Academy of Art!

Thank you so much Portuguese Embassy for hosting us! Our first concert outside the Royal College of Music was a great success, and we had such an amazing time with our second performance of Jacob's Ladder!

A small glimpse of our packed past few weeks which resulted in two amazingly successful Great Exhibitionists performances at the Royal College of Music. It was such a fulfilling and unique experience for us performing Non-Place (by Connor D'Netto and Matthew Lomax) and Maze of Dripping Sirens (by our very own António Breitenfeld Sá Dantas) so closely together as such innovative works of art, and we're thankful to the Central School Ballet and the RCM Library for such wonderful collaborations. No time for rest yet, though - stay tuned for more updates!

Our upcoming collaborative project, Non-Place, is getting very close! Don't miss the opportunity to see this fantastic electroacoustic contemporary ballet composed by Connor D'Netto and Matthew Lomax. Friday, April 26 at 7pm in the Britten Theatre at the Royal College of Music! We are very excited and hope you are, too :)

Another exciting project coming up, by our very own António Sá-Dantas! On April 29th, at the Royal College of Music Library, 4 performances throughout the day of "Maze of Dripping Sirens", a live installation as part of the RCM's Great Exhibitionists series. Don't miss it!

We are so excited to be part of this project! Stay tuned for more updates :)

Time flies when you're having fun! Meet one of our violinists, the fantastic Asier Merino Blanco! It's already been a little over three months since our debut performance of Jacob's Ladder in this very hall, but now this virtuoso is back leading the 2nd violins of RCM Symphony Orchestra 🎶. Besides playing wonderful music with us, Asier is always there to light up the room with his happy Spanish warmth and love! 🇪🇸 🌞

We went to the Royal Albert Hall café for a cup of coffee and caught up with our amazing and multitalented oboist, Richard Lines-Davies! In addition to being a fantastic oboe player, Richard also plays the flute, clarinet, saxophone, piano, and sings (favourite shower song: Best of Both Worlds by Hannah Montana 🌟). His favourite colour is coquelicot 💮 and he loves fajitas!

Introducing our members!
These are the hands of our fantastic cellist, Lily Hope. Fun facts about Lily: she has a pet snake named Eli (he's very affectionate). She also has synaesthesia - seeing colours and textures upon hearing sound - and makes incredible paintings, as well!
Stay tuned to learn about our other members and more - lots of exciting updates coming up soon!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Cat's Cradle Collective! We wish you the coziest of holidays, filled with love, happiness, and music! :) A Christmas angel in the hands of Maren Bosma (violin) - more members and figures to follow! . . . .... . . . #catscradlecollective #holidays #christmas #merrychristmas #christmaseve #newyear #stringfigure #angel #ribbon #music #love #happiness #christmasspirit #catscradle

Grateful and excited for the future after a tremendously successful debut performance of Jacob's Ladder in a sold out hall! The atmosphere in the hall with the audience was magical...many thanks to all involved! We are looking forward to many future performances, stay tuned...
