The Hallé Presents: 606 Years of Reverb
What it is
Audiences are invited to experience Jonny Greenwood’s expansive and immersive composition 606 Years of Reverb , presented in the remarkable setting of Manchester Cathedral.
This unique event sees organists James McVinnie and Eliza McCarthy come together to perform the work, which was written to commemorate and celebrate the rich legacy of organs within historic architectural spaces.
Drawing on influences from Indian music, the composition unfolds gradually, building in texture and complexity as new musical ideas emerge. Greenwood has described how melodies in Indian music often feel circular rather than linear, likening the experience to climbing onto a moving wheel rather than starting and ending in silence.
This approach shapes a constantly evolving soundscape, introducing audiences to striking and unexpected sonic worlds.
