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
Charlie Chaplin’s most ambitious and successful silent comedy presented in a gorgeous restoration. With Chaplin’s own Academy Award-nominated score, performed live by Music in the Round residents, Ensemble 360 and friends, conducted by George Morton.
A hang-out built around good beer, great music and community spirit. Hosting the weekly Kelham Island Film Club, a regular open jazz night, an eclectic mix of gigs and the occasional art exhibition.
A double bill of mysterious, beautiful music from two line-ups, and five wonderful and innovative improvising musicians. Towering new sounds to fill the majestic and reverberant surroundings of the Samuel Worth Chapel.
An institution of African music, led by Nick Gold of Buena Vista Social Club. More than 50 years on from their formation, the group’s mix of Afro-Cuban rhythms, Wolof griot traditions, mbalax, Congolese rumba and jazz, sounds as fresh as ever.
