What’s On In Manchester
SEM’s Event Guide March 2018
We give you SEM’s monthly roundup of the best music events taking place in the Manchester area throughout March 2018.
Saturday March 3rd
100 Demons, The Stoller Hall
Manchester Collective’s latest venture ‘100 Demons’ takes over The Stoller Hall for an evening of live strings and electronics. Local musician Vessel will perform new music from his upcoming release whilst music Director, Rakhi Singh will be joined by special guest Oliver Coates to perform much loved pieces like Steve Reich‘s Violin Phase. This show aligns itself with the current trend which has seen many musicians blur the line between classical and electronic music.
