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 quietly radical musical force based entirely around improvisation. Ahead of their album launch, they reflect on the ideas that bond their roughly 40 musicians, and how Sheffield has inspired them along the way.
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.
A community space platforming grassroots, queer and DIY arts and creative activities in Sheffield. Bringing people together since 2019 over parties, exhibitions, workshops, community gardening, communal meals, film nights, and more.
Scottish guitarist Sean Shibe presents a tour of four centuries of music, including Bach’s first cello suite, Steve Reich’s masterpiece Electric Counterpoint and a recent commission by the UK’s leading contemporary composer Thomas Adès.
