The Monastery Series | Wind Quintet

Wed 23 April 2025, 1:30pm,
The Monastery

We’re hosting a series of lunchtime concerts at our home, The Monastery in Gorton, supported by our good friends at Classic FM. These intimate performances allow our community to experience incredible music in a relaxed, inspiring, and historic setting. At just one hour, it’s the perfect opportunity to step away from your day to enjoy something memorable.

The second concert in our lunchtime series celebrates the greats of North American music alongside pieces from our Mozart, Made in Manchester series. This programme was chosen by our Principal Oboe, Rachael Clegg. North America has a huge tradition of big wind band culture, which inspired this selection of pieces.

This concert brings together a showcase of Mozart, Made in Manchester, with the bold and expressive sounds of North American composers, a unique way to spend your lunch hour.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see this incredible programme performed by some of the best chamber musicians in the country.

Tickets are £10, and concessions are £3 (Under 30s, Students, and Gorton Residents)
