Rothko Chapel Manchester collective and sansara go on to perform rothko chapel at leverkusen (may 7), antwerp (may 8) and back in manchester, at the bridgewater hall, on may 10. The rothko chapel is a non denominational chapel in houston, texas, founded by john and dominique de menil. the interior serves not only as a chapel, but also serves as the display framework for a major work of modern art: on its walls are fourteen paintings by mark rothko in varying hues of black. Three works commissioned as responses to rothko chapel were included in the sequence that the 12 voices of sansara performed with the collective before the feldman. This was the clever set up, designed by lewis howell, in which the musicians of manchester collective and sansara choir presented a programme of music from the past 60 odd years, including three new commissions inspired by the afternoon’s lynchpin – morton feldman’s rothko chapel.
