SUMMARY:Sheffield Bach Choir - BACH – ST JOHN PASSION
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 13 March 2027 at 19.30       St Mark’s Broomhill\nDescribed by John Elliot Gardiner as being “closer to theatre than anywhere else in his sacred music”\, Bach’s St John Passion is full of dramatic tension\, with pauses for reflection and chorales providing response.  As one of his ‘big three’ it’s a must for lovers of baroque and choral music\, and of course\, of J.S Bach. \nThe Sheffield Bach Choir has performed this magnificent work every three years for over fifty years and over twenty with the wonderful National Festival Orchestra\, and choir and orchestra are well matched masters of the work. Sung in the original German as part of Classical Sheffield’s Classical Weekend festival 2027 and conducted by Phillip Collin\, this will be one not to miss. \n“From the outset\, the audience was captivated by the sheer intensity of the haunting opening chorus\, with the choir and orchestra capturing the pain and suffering of the biblical text.” Gary O-Shea\, Sheffield Telegraph\, following the choir’s previous performance of this work \n\nSheffield Bach Choir\nNational Festival Orchestra\nTristan Moore – Evangelist\nWilliam Burn – Christ\nLouise Wayman – Soprano\nKatie Sharpe – Alto\nDavid Bonar – Bass\nPhilip Collin – conductor\n\nTickets will be available online and on the door\, prices to be announced\, accompanied children free.

SUMMARY:Game Music in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Experience the epic sound worlds of gaming in concert\, performed by Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra in collaboration with Sheffield Chorale\, as part of Classical Sheffield’s Classical Weekend at the Octagon Centre. \nFrom sweeping orchestral scores to instantly recognisable themes\, this programme celebrates the artistry\, emotion and storytelling power of video game music across generations of players. \nThe first half journeys through some of the most celebrated contemporary game soundtracks\, including music from God of War Ragnarök\, Ratchet & Clank\, Horizon: Call of the Mountain\, Starfield\, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Star Citizen. These works showcase the scale and cinematic ambition of modern game scoring\, where full symphonic writing meets immersive interactive storytelling. \nThe second half pays tribute to iconic themes from gaming history. From the nostalgia of Super Mario Bros.\, Tetris and Dragon Quest XI\, to the emotional depth of Minecraft\, Halo\, Medal of Honor and Civilization IV’s Baba Yetu\, the programme traces the evolution of video game music into one of the most dynamic and widely loved genres of the 21st century. Highlights include powerful orchestral arrangements such as Adagio for Strings from Homeworld and the symphonic finale from Asura’s Wrath. \nBringing together orchestra\, chorus and screen-led storytelling\, this is a landmark celebration of gaming music on the concert stage.
