Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects | Installation: United KingdomZaha Hadid Architects have built an installation at
Manchester Art Gallery to house performances of music by Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach.
"The aim is to create a near-perfect visual and sonic environment for the audience to experience some of the world’s most beautiful chamber music. A union of two true originals, three centuries apart.
Johann Sebastian Bach's music is both beautiful and audacious, striking and sensual. In a very different way, the same can be said for the remarkable creations of Zaha Hadid – one of the most artistic and forward-thinking architects of her generation.
Zaha Hadid Architects will be visually and acoustically transforming one of our exhibition spaces. They'll be creating an extraordinary and intimate chamber music hall, exclusively for Manchester International Festival."
The installation created by Zaha Hadid Architects will be open for free public viewing during standard gallery opening hours, until 31 August 2009.
