An award-winning composer is set to perform at a one-off show that will include a piece of music he says is inspired by his heart attack.
Producer, DJ and songwriter, Nitin Sawhney will perform the original composition when his band lines up with the Manchester-based Hallé orchestra in the city in December.
The show was originally cancelled after he suffered a heart attack in May, and then spent time recovering from surgery.
Sawhney, who won a Mercury Prize in 1999 for his electronic album Beyond Skin, said the composition “captures the feeling and internal pyschology of having a heart attack”.
Sawhney has worked with artists including Paul McCartney, Sting, Annie Lennox, releasing more than 20 albums across a genre-defying career.
The Rochester-born musician’s collaboration with the Hallé will take place at the Bridgewater Hall on 5 December.
He said the orchestra was “one of his favourites”, and he was looking forward to performing the original composition with them.
He said: “I am musically focusing on what happened around me at the time in relation to how I was medically treated.
“But also the aftermath of it in relation to my mental and emotional state.”
