Performance NotesThe Manchester Collective presents an urban musical world: bright with neon light, tense with uncertainty.

Steve Reich’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Double Sextet with its motoric rhythms and thick web of counterpoint sits alongside Hannah Peel’s Neon – a fusion of electronic and acoustic elements with the sounds of Tokyo’s Shinjuku Station – and Ben Nobuto’s euphoric sound-collage SERENITY 2.0. The musical prayer of David Lang’s Mystery Sonata No. 7 and Oliver Leith’s ‘slippy arrangement’ of a 17th-century original help slow the pulse again.

There was no interval.

The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
