Salford children showcase their musical talent. Pupils who have shown dedication in learning to sing or play an instrument have been selected to perform a solo in this new annual concert. Every year hundreds of young people from Salford are successful in music exams and the Salford Music and Performing Arts Service's Salford Young Musicians Showcase gives you the opportunity to hear performances from those that have excelled.

Through the unique combination of audience, actors and musicians, Playback will transform your real life experiences instantaneously into theatre. The dynamic improvisation skills and ensemble work can bring laughter, tears, enchantment and connections across the whole audience. Come and watch or take the opportunity to tell your story and experience the magic of Playback as it is played back to you.

The Lowry’s in-house community dance company presents its latest work, Spaces, created during a 9week course. Using The Lowry as a starting point, participants have taken inspiration from the architecture, galleries and theatres. The result, which offers a range of inventive contemporary and creative movement, has been shaped in to a group choreography by Artistic Director and Choreographer, Ruth Tyson-Jones for this performance.
