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
A friendly rock pub with the motto "silence is overrated" – complete with jukebox and basement gig venue. Live performances specialise in rock, punk and metal, while it also hosts comedy nights and a regular drag show.
Friday at Alder sees Leeds imprint Private Regcords take over for a full-throttle label showcase. Saturday will move things in a completely different direction with special courtyard jazz performances. Plus a live graffiti battle from Lick Of Paint.
Three days of leftfield, fun, adventurous club music. Friday leans into the experimental. Saturday marks Gut Level's first birthday, with Dublin selector Cáit. Sunday hands the reins to Vanity Projects for a finale of rap, pop and electronica.
An open jam session led by the Footprints house band. All musicians and vocalists are invited to join – or just come down to enjoy the music.
