Happening as part of Synagogue Nights 2023, join experimental folk duo – Fran & Flora – for a night of new music at Manchester Jewish Museum.

Fran & Flora are cellist Francesca Ter-Berg and violinist Flora Curzon and their work is inspired by the melodies of Klezmer, Transylvanian, Romanian, Greek and Armenian music. Drawing on their experiences of travelling and from their musical mentors in Eastern Europe and beyond, the pair seek to blend elements of rich musical tradition with experimental collaboration.
