Classical Weekend returns in 2025.
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.
Head to the Winter Garden on Saturday 22 March for free pop-up performances.
Other highlights in the programme include an open rehearsal with the Hallé at Sheffield City Hall. A string of concerts will take place in the beautiful Upper Chapel, including Waldershelf Singers performing traditional sea shanties. And a reimagined version of Bizet’s thrilling opera Carmen will come to the Canon Medical Arena, from Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra, Opera on Location, Hallam Choral Society, and the Sheffield Music Education Hub.
