Manchester Jewish Museum will celebrate the rich variety of Jewish music and art in a series of intimate shows hosted in its Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, which dates back to 1874.
Synagogue Nights will feature jazz performances, comedy shows, and classical renditions in a number of evening productions centered around the theme of identity from October to December. It is the third of such seasons to be hosted by the museum since reopening in July last year after a two year redevelopment project.
The programme of events kicks off with a performance by the Noga Ritter Trio on October 20. The trio bring their genre-blending take on Hebrew jazz to Manchester for the first time. Singer-songwriter Noga mixes jazz techniques with influences from growing up in Israel and working in West Africa.
