We believe this is why members have such long-standing loyalty and commitment to the orchestra. However, our membership does need to remain large enough to present the extensive repertoire we offer. In particular, we are looking to recruit more string players, especially violin and viola players of all ages. If you are interested, you can come along to a mutual trial period to see if it feels right. We rehearse weekly on Wednesday evenings from early September to late June, except during school holidays. To develop our orchestral sound, we plan to have day schools this season. This will be combined with social occasions to foster the orchestral camaraderie. We play to a high standard so players are expected to be a minimum level of grade 7 and usually around grade 8 or above. If the SSO’s description seems to match what you are looking for and you are curious, don’t hesitate to contact us via the website or Facebook, tweet us on Twitter, or call 07901 566960 to find out more.

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.

Rooted in his Palestinian heritage\, Faris celebrates the instrument\, which has Middle Eastern roots dating back to around 5000 BCE\, and its cultural legacy\, in his own compositions. \nIn ‘Jasad’ – Arabic for ‘body’ – he draws on the essence of the Nay to create a distinctive solo setup\, playing the instrument alongside a leg-mounted frame drum and foot percussion\, and weaves these sounds together to produce a multi-layered acoustic solo performance. With exceptional dexterity and expressive nuance\, he blends intricate melodies with dynamic beats to evoke the feel of looped textures while being fully acoustic. \nSave 20% when you book for 10 or more Music in the Round Sheffield concerts in one transaction.\nSave 10% when you book for 5 or more Music in the Round Sheffield concerts in one transaction.  URL:https://classicalsheffield.org.uk/event/jasad-music-for-middle-eastern-flute-faris-ishaq/ LOCATION:Playhouse\, 55 Norfolk Street\, Sheffield\, S1 1DA\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Orginsations,Soloists ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://classicalsheffield.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Jasad-music-for-middle-eastern-flute.png ORGANIZER;CN="Music in the Round":MAILTO:info@musicintheround.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260228T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260228T173000 DTSTAMP:20260223T085912Z CREATED:20260221T185701Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260223T085912Z UID:10001656-1772287200-1772299800@classicalsheffield.org.uk SUMMARY:A Voice For Life - Workshop DESCRIPTION:If you sing in a choir\, then this is for you.\nCan you sustain your breath through long phrases?\nDo you warm up effectively?\nAre you able to sing top notes easily?\nDo you know how to sing vowels correctly? \nCome to an afternoon workshop hosted by the David Clover Festival of Singing.

We believe this is why members have such long-standing loyalty and commitment to the orchestra. However, our membership does need to remain large enough to present the extensive repertoire we offer. In particular, we are looking to recruit more string players, especially violin and viola players of all ages. If you are interested, you can come along to a mutual trial period to see if it feels right. We rehearse weekly on Wednesday evenings from early September to late June, except during school holidays. To develop our orchestral sound, we plan to have day schools this season. This will be combined with social occasions to foster the orchestral camaraderie. We play to a high standard so players are expected to be a minimum level of grade 7 and usually around grade 8 or above. If the SSO’s description seems to match what you are looking for and you are curious, don’t hesitate to contact us via the website or Facebook, tweet us on Twitter, or call 07901 566960 to find out more.

Honouring Alfred Cortot—legendary pianist\, editor and teacher\, and co-founder of the École—the prize places Alice within a lineage in which Chopin and Franck are touchstones. Cortot himself studied piano in Paris with Chopin pupil Émile Decombes and is widely considered to be one of the composer’s finest interpreters\, whilst his performances of Franck with violinist Jacques Thibaud are legendary for their supple phrasing and helped cement the sonata’s place in the repertoire. This concert’s pairing mirrors Cortot’s own artistic world: the intimacy of Chopin heard at chamber scale\, and the poetic architecture of the Franco-Belgian tradition at its peak. \nChopin’s Piano Concerto no 2 in F minor appears here in the original scoring for string quintet\, a salon-scale medium Chopin himself favoured\, and one that Cortot prized for its clarity and conversational give-and-take (although he himself produced an orchestration and famously recorded it with the London Symphony Orchestra and Barbirolli in 1935). In this chamber guise the concerto speaks with heightened intimacy: the strings are true partners in dialogue with the piano—exactly the sort of close-quarters eloquence that Cortot’s legacy celebrates. \nDavid Milsom—founder and artistic director of the West Riding Ensemble—is one of only a handful of global authorities on violin playing in the long 19th-century; his Romantic Violin Performing Practices: A Handbook (2020\, Boydell & Brewer) explores the topic in hands-on terms\, inviting fellow violinists to revisit practices that were trademarks of Franck’s world. \nDavid and Alice first performed together at the official launch of WRE in September 2024\, when the ensemble revelled in a shared passion for Shostakovich’s chamber music. Now they come together again to delve into another common interest with Franck’s violin sonata. \nIn keeping with the raison d’être of WRE\, the quintet line-up for this concert sees talented young students\, Maria Nikolaeva\, Perris Heath\, and Lucas Jordan\, working with seasoned musicians in a professional recital. 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. \nAlice Power | piano\nDavid Milsom | violin\nWRE Quintet | David Milsom & Maria Nikolaeva\, violin; Charlotte Kenyon\, viola; Perris Heath\, cello; Lucas Jordan\, double bass URL:https://classicalsheffield.org.uk/event/wre-salon-with-alice-power-2025-prix-cortot-winner/ LOCATION:Upper Chapel\, Norfolk Street\, Sheffield\, S1 2JD\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Ensembles,Piano,Soloists,String,Young People ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://classicalsheffield.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/WRE-Chopin-final-Classical-Sheffield-300dpi-scaled.png ORGANIZER;CN="West Riding Ensemble":MAILTO:westridingensemble@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251211T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251211T205000 DTSTAMP:20250714T130613Z CREATED:20250714T130613Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250714T130613Z UID:10000909-1765479600-1765486200@classicalsheffield.org.uk SUMMARY:MOONLIGHT DESCRIPTION:BEETHOVEN Piano Sonata No.14 in C sharp minor Op.27 No.2 ‘Moonlight’ (18’)\nRAVEL Gaspard de la nuit (23’)\nTABAKOVA Nocturne (3’)\nTABAKOVA Halo (10’)\nBEETHOVEN Piano Sonata No.21 in C Op.53 ‘Waldstein’ (24’) \nDescribed as “a born musician with a virtuoso technique”\, Isata Kanneh-Mason has been praised for “her ability to engage your emotions from first note to last – and to think outside the box” (Gramophone).
