Manchester Collective: Black Gold
Southbank Centre, Purcell Room, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]The ensemble dreams up a world of elemental soundscapes in works by Luke Mombrea, Sasha Scott, and James Tenney, with Bach as the calm at the eye of the storm.
Rock, fire and oil. The elements drip, crash and thunder against each other in Black Gold.
Feel the ground tremble as Manchester Collective morphs into a bass-heavy ensemble.
Sliding rhythms and revving engines from James Tenney’s Glissade rip open a chasm from which Luke Mombrea’s atmospheric Black Gold emerges.
Tracing the history of the disastrous oil well fires in Santa Fe Springs, the audiovisual piece takes us from the sleepy 1920s township to the rumbling sounds of industry – until we’re plunged into the heart of the inferno.
Fragmented photographs of the catastrophe and textural projections by artist Nate Mohler complete the story. Sitting between these tectonic pieces is a new commission by composer Sasha Scott, who’s known for her shattering, glitchy music.
Providing catharsis amidst the earth-shaking soundscapes is a selection of contemplative Bach chorales.
Manchester Collective is a Southbank Centre Resident Artist for Classical Music: Autumn/Winter 2026/27.
