We are delighted to be able to provide fantastic spaces for live performances and events here at Forsyths. Since reopening after the last lockdown in 2021 we have been hosting recitals in our newly refurbished historic piano showroom - at least twice per month - over 50 and counting! We have had a wide range of amazing performers from well established artists such as Benjamin Frith and Murray McLachlan on the classical side to Jazz legends such as James Pearson and his trio from Ronnie Scott's. We also welcome a wide range of talented up and coming performers from the RNCM etc. We are also a regular venue for Manchester Jazz Festival.

We have been overwhelmed by the support for our recital series and the keenness of musicians to come and perform - often on multiple occasions! We are proud to be able to offer most of the performances free of charge as we have secured charitable trust funding from the Ida Carroll Trust to enable us to pay all performers.

In addition to the performances in our showroom, we also have a 'flexible performance space' in our basement where our fleet of hire pianos live when not out on hire. Here we host regular events with audiences of up to around 40 people including monthly piano meetu up groups with Lets Play the Piano!, piano workshops with the well-respected educators such as Susan Bettany and Murray McLachlan as well as student concerts, and other events.

You can read more and watch many of the performances back on our Past Events page as well as our YouTube channel and Facebook page.
