📣Join us on November 3rd for a breathtaking concert celebrating the works of 17th-century Jewish-Italian composer Salomone Rossi, as part of our Synagogue Nights!
Vache Baroque are a group of professional musicians intent on connecting a younger, more diverse range of people to the power of high-quality Baroque-era music and drama. This intimate performance will feature both sacred and secular vocal pieces by Rossi and his contemporaries from across Europe. Joyful prayers, lamenting solo songs, and passionate madrigals sung in Hebrew, Italian, Latin, and English will paint the musical landscape within which Rossi lived and worked.
Five talented Vache Baroque singers, accompanied by the enchanting sounds of the chitarrone (a medieval lute with an extended neck), will bring these pieces to life. 🎵

📣Join us on Thursday, 31 October for a beautiful folk evening with Dekelmusic as part of our Synagogue Nights season. ✨
Dekel grew up in Haifa, near Mount Carmel and a sprawling forest, with music always playing in her home. She took piano and flute lessons and later attended Beit Zvi performing arts school. After releasing "Last of Songs" (2014) with Eldad Zitrin, she launched her solo career with two albums: "Hello" (2018) and "Desert Moon" (2023).
During her show at Manchester Jewish Museum Dekel will be performing songs from her new album ‘Starlings’. Featuring cello, accordion, acoustic guitar, and clarinet, her music blends vibrant melodies with deep spiritual themes from her Jewish heritage.
The music radiates warmth and authenticity, weaving together soothing melodies with heartfelt lyrics that invite listeners into Dekel's world. Listen to her song "Sing with me sisters" below!

Our Museum Open Day as part of Cheetham Cultural Festival was such a hit we are still trying to process it!
We welcomed 221 of you to the museum, served almost 300 pieces of free cakes and nearly 90 portions of hot cholent with 8 big challahs. 🍲
We had so much fun screen printing on tote bags and clothes and we absolutely loved the performance of our very own song-writing group. It was a really good day and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! ⭐️
It was great to once again be a part of Cheetham Cultural Festival. It’s always a highlight of the year for us to be able to open our doors to anyone who wants to visit and to meet people from other community and faith places in Cheetham Hill. This video is a little summary of everything that’s happened throughout the 4 days of this fantastic festival 🎉
