Do you have a passion for music? Do you like the idea of writing your own songs? Do you like being part of group and expressing yourself?
Manchester Jewish Museum’s song-writing group meets monthly to create new music inspired by the themes and stories in our collection and by the artists and events in our creative programme.
Led by our Creative Producer Gemma and local composer and artist Michael Betteridge this group is perfect for anyone who likes to sing, write creatively, play instruments or just loves to be part of something. It’s a great space to find new inspiration and share ideas with a supportive group.
We regularly work with composers, singers, musicians and artists to create new work and learn new ways of making music.
No previous musical experience necessary – come along and give it a go!
