Sheffield Chamber Music Festival returns to the Crucible's intimate Playhouse theatre in spring 2024 for its 40th anniversary edition.
Cellist Steven Isserlis is this year's guest curator, working with the festival's organisers Music in the Round and their resident musicians Ensemble 360 to pull together a dazzling programme of events. Much of the 2024 programme will celebrate the centenary year of Gabriel Fauré, one of Steven Isserlis's great musical loves.
The lineup includes performances of music by big names in classical music, like Bach, Mozart and Schubert. Family favourite Sir Scallywag and the Battle of Stinky Bottom will come to the stage, among other musical adventures for children. Other highlights include a sunrise performance in an atmospheric chapel at Sheffield General Cemetery, and an evening of magical Parisian music. As well as performances, there’ll also be a screening of a documentary about the Lindsay String Quartet, alongside a conversation about their legacy.
As well as its main venue of the Crucible Playhouse, this year's festival will also take place at the Crucible's main stage, Upper Chapel, Channing Hall, the Samuel Worth Chapel, and St Mark's Church.
Tickets for under 35s and students are just £5.
