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

From the intimate to the divine: an intriguing musical exploration of Chinese music and philosophy alongside European classical traditions in the Crucible Playhouse with Music in the Round.
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.
