Manchester Collective: Shaker Loops
Southbank Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Transcendent music speaks of life, death and divine ecstasy in a concert from the innovative ensemble, inspired by John Adams’ Shaker Loops.
The Shakers – a Protestant sect originating in the 18th century in north-west England – believe in the power of music to achieve spiritual connection and transcendence.
Leaning into their own Northern roots, Manchester Collective are joined live by the lyrical force that is Christ Bryan, poet-in-residence at Salford’s iconic experimental and underground club The White Hotel.
Bryan’s poetry vibrates and crashes into the pulsating rhythms of John Adams’ high-octane Shaker Loops, which pays homage to the communities the American composer grew up near.
Elsewhere, a mysterious ode to the departed and an ancient religious hymn invoke spirits into physical form.
Since their formation in 2016, Manchester Collective has become known for their imaginative programming, daring collaborations and engaging performances.
The shape-shifting ensemble performs a combination of cutting-edge contemporary music, classical masterpieces and staged work nationally and internationally, in spaces ranging from concert halls to warehouses, nightclubs to festivals.
