We’re delighted to be hosting Nadia Reid – Live With Strings at St Michael’s!
Following her latest album Enter Now Brightness (released via Chrysalis in 2025). New Zealand–raised, Manchester-based songwriter Nadia Reid presents three intimate shows featuring old and new songs, re-imagined with a two-piece string ensemble.
Reid reflects: ‘In 2021 some of my songs were arranged by Alex Taylor for violin, piano and cello. It feels special to be digging out those scores and performing with Todmorden-based multi-instrumentalist DBH, and newcomer Josh Horsley from Liverpool on cello.’
These intimate shows are not to be missed. Nadia is currently working on new material for her fifth studio album.
This concert takes place in Hallé at St Michael’s – a former Roman Catholic church, which was founded in 1859 and became the heart of the Little Italy Community in Ancoats.
AGE RESTRICTION: This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
PLEASE NOTE: The ticket price includes a £1.20 venue levy.
St Michael's, situated on George Leigh Street in Ancoats, stands as a vital cultural asset for Manchester, evolving from its origins as the spiritual heart of the city's historic Little Italy community. Now under the stewardship of the Hallé, it serves as a dynamic hub for artistic and educational endeavours, contributing significantly to the region's vibrant events landscape.
Within its deconsecrated walls, the venue offers an atmosphere of refined versatility. The high ceilings and original architectural lines of the former church lend a resonant quality to performances, while modern refurbishments introduce a tactile sense of contemporary comfort, with soft lighting often highlighting the interplay of historic stone and sleek, updated finishes.
Practical considerations are well-addressed, with level access to the ground floor and a portable ramp ensuring ease of entry for all visitors. An accessible bar area provides refreshments, and a dedicated accessible toilet is available. On-street parking is available nearby, with free options after 6pm.
The venue hosts a diverse calendar of engagements, from orchestral rehearsals and intimate musical performances to workshops, community gatherings, and private receptions. It regularly stages concerts, theatre productions, and exhibitions, providing a versatile backdrop for a broad spectrum of cultural and social events.
