Earlier this month, we hit the road with Manchester Collective to tour our joint Rothko Chapel programme

With concerts at London’s Southbank Centre and Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall framing the trip, we also made our debut appearances in Germany and Belgium.
Here’s a round up of how it went down…

Today’s concert ticked all the boxes for a great show: clever light set-up, a few introductory remarks, seamless transitions, skilled musicians and, naturally, an exciting programme. The ambitious goal to “invite contemplation” and “create a spiritual space” was gloriously accomplished.”

“Pitching from SANSARA is (pardon the pun) simply off the scale... An utterly remarkable, unforgettable concert. In SANSARA, Manchester Collective has surely found an aesthetic twin.”
