ROYAL NORTHERN COLLEGE MUSIC Brass Band

One of the largest black box stages in Greater Manchester with walls over a metre in thickness, the concert hall boasts a generous orchestra pit as well as benefiting from its newly expanded seating capacity. During the most recent refurbishment, an extra balcony was added, whilst utmost care has been taken to preserve the venue’s  distinctive organ. Air conditioning and state-of-the-art audio amplification make attending a modern and refreshing experience. Though the Royal Northern College of Music Concert Hall hosts pop and rock as well as classical, its excellent programming is pointedly more diverse and specialist than other venues in the city. This, and the venue’s unique characteristics, ensures that any visit to the RNCM is a treat.

Sidetracks & Detours present PASS IT ON 54 Sunday Supplement 26 5 2024

Today on our travels we heard our much-revered historian, Michael Higgins questioning what constitutes too many pooets. We also visited what the artist Claudie calls her Gallery At Home and then found a pile of information about the work, in films and books and activism or Isobella Rossellini. We also bring you two items music of overheard Jazz In Reading. Even after Mr. Kipling´s exceedingly good cake the jazz had us hungering for more, and our jazz columnist and broadcaster, Steve Bewick baked us some of his jazz Hot Biscuits- We also found you a review of a classical duo at Chichester Cathedral znd, with a reader´s perspective our Americana correspondent Peter Pearson. Of course we bring our usual closing piece of Island Insight delivered by Canary Detect.
