Launching Manchester chapter!
June 2025
We’re thrilled to give our first performance as a Manchester-based ensemble this Saturday at Manchester Classical. While Riot has always been proudly international, we’ve chosen Manchester as our new home—drawn by its vibrant, world-class classical music scene. Catch us at Bridgewater Hall on 28 June at 5pm and say hello after the show!
