Globally celebrated composer, Max Richter, will perform at The Bridgewater Hall this November as part of his first-ever world tour.
Now renowned as one of the most influential composers of his generation, Richter is known for his ability to seamlessly blend traditional orchestrations with modern electronic elements.
His catalogue has amassed over three billion streams to date and his record-breaking album SLEEP stands as one of the most streamed classical albums of all time.
Richter comes to The Bridgewater Hall on Mon 4 Nov, with this tour supporting his latest release and ninth studio album, In A Landscape.
Max Richter says “For me, the music on the record is about connecting or reconciling polarities. The electronics with the acoustic instruments, the natural world with the human world, and the big ideas of life with the personal and intimate.
“This is a dynamic I started to explore in my 2004 record The Blue Notebooks, and the new project shares many of that album’s concerns; in a way this record is another look at the themes of the earlier work, but from the perspective of our world and our lives in 2024.”
In A Landscape is Richter’s first solo album recorded at Studio Richter Mahr, the minimalist, eco-conscious creative retreat designed and operated by Richter and his wife, visual artist Yulia Mahr.
