Manchester Collective live in London

Experience Manchester Collective live on June 28th

Manchester Collective will perform at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London on June 28, 2026. The ensemble is recognised for its boundary-pushing approach to classical music, frequently commissioning new works and collaborating with artists from diverse genres including electronic music, visual art, and poetry. Their performances often deconstruct traditional concert formats, aiming for immersive and emotionally resonant experiences rather than adhering to conventional repertoire. They typically feature a core group of string players – violin, viola, cello – but expand with guest musicians as needed.

The Queen Elizabeth Hall is part of the Southbank Centre, a significant arts complex on the South Bank of the River Thames. Opened in 1967 as part of a wider post-war redevelopment plan, it was designed by architects Hubert Bennett and Leslie Martin. The Hall is renowned for its acoustics and Brutalist architectural style. Throughout its history, it has hosted a vast range of performances encompassing classical music, contemporary dance, theatre, and spoken word events. It underwent a substantial refurbishment completed in 2024 which aimed to improve accessibility and enhance the audience experience while preserving the building’s original character. It is a Grade II listed building reflecting its architectural and cultural importance.
