Classical Weekend returns in 2027.
The biennial festival is one big celebration of classical music – in all manner of forms, from near and far.
It brings chamber musicians, choirs and orchestras to some of the city's finest music halls, and beyond into public spaces and more intimate and unusual venues.
TRACKS
New for 26. Celebrating stories, and the shops and publishers who keep them alive. From La Biblioteka, Juno Books, Hillsborough Bookshop, Novel, Graphic Novel Reading Room, Rhyme & Reason, Kelham Island Books & Music, Next Chapter, & Porter Bookshop.
With its high vaulted ceiling, large leaded windows and oak panelling, this Edwardian hall lends itself perfectly to the classical setting. Its concerts range from talented student orchestras to more experimental contemporary compositions.
A surreal combination of folk bands, music lovers, alcohol and regular commuters on a packed and ageing Northern Rail carriage, with a Peak District pub as the destination.
Lyrically expressive Czech-folk-inspired music.
