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
Sidney & Matilda may take the cake for the most stacked lineup of the fringe with over 50 acts across three days (won’t somebody think of the sound guy!). Including country-dream-pop, new-wave electronica combined with general hilarity, and lots more.
An evening of expressive and internationally acclaimed acoustic guitar.
This Meersbrook shop boasts an eclectic mix of genres and a constant turnover of records to keep you satisfied, with local bands on the racks alongside the likes of Bowie.
