  • Bio

    Stephanie Benedetti, Kirsty Mangan, Natalie Holt and Rachael Lander formed Raven in 2007. They hail from the Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester University and the National Film and Television School. Disillusioned by the traditional “background” role of the string quartet, Raven provide a refreshing antidote with their energetic interpretation of classical repertoire, challenging the conventions of traditional chamber music. Raven’s eclectic set list includes works from Vivaldi to Morricone and has already impressed audiences around the country, from the Reading and Leeds festivals with Mercury nominated band The Last Shadow Puppets, to centre stage at the London Palladium. Raven has performed and recorded with artists such as Gorillaz, Jools Holland, Leona Lewis, Gwen Stefani and Heather Nova. In the summer of 2008, Raven were the resident quartet for the BBC 2 series, Maestro. They recorded the backing strings for Lady Sovereign's newly released album, 'Jigsaw', and in 2009 supported Hayley Westenra and Jonathan Ansell on their 'Valentine's' tour of the UK. as well as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Rochester Castle. They also recently perform at the 7/07 memorial in Hyde Park in the presence of HRH Prince Charles.The girls have recently recorded their promotional album 'Raven' at Pinewood Studios, which has been featured on Classic FM.

    Hello Raven, Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul. Your beauty is equal to the smoothness of a polished gem. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. Your beauty is multiplexed in contemplation of your multidimensional effervescence. Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. Panoramic aromavision is the future. I keep searching for you between the cushions.
