Join us for an evening of uplifting music celebrating the wonder of nature – including the world premiere of The Gardener by young composer Lucy Armstrong and lyricist Rebecca Hurst.  This exciting and accessible new work explores a day in the life of the garden from First Light to Dusk Falls, thunderstorm included! Salford Choral Society Musical Director Tom Newall said: “It’s not often a choir commissions its very own piece and we’re all incredibly excited to give the first ever performance of The Gardener. It’s a bold, fun piece, I can promise the audience a very special experience.”
