About Us
Lowry Strings is an Adult String Group based in Salford area of the UK. The group was formed in the 1970s by Colin Green, the musical director, due to interest from parents waiting for their children during violin lessons.
After running for 15 years, it lapsed and was restarted in about 1990 as part of the Salford Music Service.
When Colin left the service in 1999, he continued with the group and it was officially launched as the Lowry Strings Group.
Following a grant from the National Lottery in 2002, a beginner's section was formed and the players from this are now beginning to join the main ensemble.
