Direct from Argentina\, this electrifying evening fuses the smouldering music of Astor Piazzolla with breathtaking choreography\, virtuosic musicianship\, and the raw intensity of true Argentine tango. \nExperience tango in its most authentic yet sophisticated form as sensual elegance meets razor-sharp precision. The programme features iconic works from tango’s golden era\, including Piazzolla’s Suite del Diablo\, the haunting Oblivion\, and his greatest hit\, Libertango\, alongside music by Francisco de Caro\, Jacob Gade\, and others from the late-night bars of Buenos Aires. \nLondon Concertante is joined once again by celebrated pianist and composer David Gordon\, whose arrangements and original works bring fresh fire\, colour\, and passion to tango’s evocative soundworld. This is an exhilarating spectacle for eyes and ears alike—an unforgettable night of drama\, rhythm\, and romance.

Written in striking contrast to his other concertos\, Mozart’s 27th Piano Concerto\, full of richness and lyricism\, is scored for a relatively small orchestra. Nevertheless\, it is still packed with the charm and beauty so characteristic of the composer’s other works. \nBeginning proceedings is Stravinsky’s Song of the Nightingale – an effective musical illustration of both real and mechanical birdsong. Tchaikovsky’s Second Symphony\, dubbed “Little Russian” thanks to its effective use of Ukrainian folksongs\, provides a joyful end to the evening. \nEuan Shields conductor\nImogen Cooper piano \nSTRAVINSKY Song of the Nightingale (21)\nMOZART Piano Concerto No.27\, K595 (32)\nTCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No.2 “Little Russian” (32) URL:https://classicalsheffield.org.uk/event/the-halle-imogen-cooper-performs-mozart/ LOCATION:Sheffield City Hall\, Barker's Pool\, Sheffield\, S1 2JA CATEGORIES:Composers,Conductors,Orchestra,Piano ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://classicalsheffield.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/12.-9-MAY-Imogen-Cooper-3-Sussie-Ahlburg-edited-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260504T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260504T220000 DTSTAMP:20260112T122938Z CREATED:20260112T122938Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260112T122938Z UID:10001617-1777923000-1777932000@classicalsheffield.org.uk SUMMARY:Hidden Track – Contemporary Classical Music Night DESCRIPTION:We are a monthly series dedicated to promoting and showcasing contemporary classical music in the heart of Sheffield. \nWe’ll be hosting Hidden Track on the first Monday of every month at The Beaten Track. \nEntry is free.

This work (which also includes timpani) sees St Marie’s Cathedral’s Director of Music and organist Robert Webb as soloist on the fine\, restored but unmodernised three-manual Lewis organ\, which is in its 150th anniversary year. \nThe focal point for WRE founders David Milsom and Maria Nikolaeva is performing the world premiere of Vermeer Music\, a work written by Ian Crew for them as violin soloists with a string ensemble. The work uses Baroque forms\, including divisions (florid variations)\, and a fugato\, separating the players into ‘concertino’ (soloists) and ‘ripieno’ (ensemble) in the tradition of the Baroque concerto grosso. The work acts as a deep contemplation of the musical relationship of the two soloists\, initially as student and teacher\, but increasingly as colleagues and collaborators\, brought together with the inspiration of several paintings by the Dutch artist\, Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675). This makes for a complex\, interwoven texture which links to perfection WRE’s union of scholarship\, performance passion\, and pedagogy. \nIn keeping with the raison d’être of WRE\, the string ensemble includes a number of students. WRE is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to give a professional platform to emerging young musicians in an ‘apprentice’ model\, and pays students a fair fee for their work. \nPROGRAMME\nCREW: Vermeer Music Concerto Grosso for two solo violins and string orchestra (2026)\nPOULENC: Organ Concerto (1938)\nVAUGHAN WILLIAMS: Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis (1910)\nFINZI: Romance (1928) \nPERFORMERS\nDavid Milsom & Maria Nikolaeva – solo violins\nRobert Webb – organ\nWRE String Orchestra\nConductors: Ian Crew\, John Lyon\, and Wilf Dingle URL:https://classicalsheffield.org.uk/event/strings-and-organ/ LOCATION:St Maries Cathedral\, Norfolk Street\, Sheffield\, S1 2JB\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Composers,Conductors,Ensembles,Soloists,String,Young People ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://classicalsheffield.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/WRE-Crew-Classical-Sheffield-FINAL.png ORGANIZER;CN="West Riding Ensemble":MAILTO:westridingensemble@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260302T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260302T220000 DTSTAMP:20260112T122938Z CREATED:20260112T122938Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260112T122938Z UID:10001615-1772479800-1772488800@classicalsheffield.org.uk SUMMARY:Hidden Track – Contemporary Classical Music Night DESCRIPTION:We are a monthly series dedicated to promoting and showcasing contemporary classical music in the heart of Sheffield. \nWe’ll be hosting Hidden Track on the first Monday of every month at The Beaten Track. \nEntry is free.
