Black Creative Trailblazers

Join Black Creative Trailblazers at Live at Lunchtime for a vibrant musical showcase celebrating Mancunian talent, connection, and creativity.

This special lunchtime performance features three outstanding artists. Sinead D’Abreu-Hayling is a Trinidadian British soprano currently completing a Masters in Vocal Performance at the Royal Northern College of Music. Praised for her powerful yet controlled voice, her recent operatic highlights include performances with the Croatian Opera Academy and leading roles at RNCM.

Also taking to the stage is Rumbi Tauro, a Zimbabwean-born R&B powerhouse known for her soulful melodies and captivating live performances. With a sound rooted in emotion and connection, Rumbi creates intimate, memorable moments with audiences across the UK.

Completing the lineup are The Divines, a Manchester-based soul duo blending playful harmonies and rich tones across neo-soul, R&B, and 90s/2000s classics. Friends and collaborators since meeting at Access Creative College in 2019, Mariam and Carlisa bring warmth, spirit, and authenticity to every performance. They will be joined by Kemani Anderson on keys, adding depth and texture to their timeless sound.

Together, this showcase offers a joyful lunchtime celebration of Black musical excellence, community and connection.
