IV CHAPEL STREET POLICE STATION
Like the opening of the 4th quartet, this building is lovely, but the music, architecture and context are multifaceted and complex. The scale of the building is strange and unsettling: it feels like it has sunk, with many floors swallowed up by the street. Is this the lost crown of a former towering Salford grid iron building?
The fabulous, hyperactive terracotta dance of the former police station ends suddenly. Next door, George Ellis, the abandoned stationer, picks up the story and amongst shiny new emerging towers, wonders what is about to happen next.

V BT BUILDING
There is an intoxicating energy about the music and the street at this opening. The geometry of the signs, pavements and junctions is thrilling. The strange wonder of the city and the music grow as we rise. Abstract concrete patterns slowly shift and drift, reflecting the vast central movement of the fifth quartet. In the early morning light, two young lovers begin to make their way home.

VI THE BLACK LION
The Black Lion pub offers a carefree bookend to the fourth and fifth quartets.
