SUMMARY:Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus: Young Composer Competition concert
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 24 April 2027\, 19.30\, St Marie’s cathedral\, \nYoung Composer Competition concert\n  \nA special concert to present the world premiere of the winning composition in the third Stella Jockel Young Composer Competition organised by the Chorus. The concert will include other wonderful choral works in the superb acoustic of St Marie’s cathedral. \nComments from the previous concert in St Marie’s: \n\n“I enjoyed all the pieces (and all were new to me)… It wasn’t really the individual pieces\, for me\, though. It was the all-encompassing sounds of dozens of voices in rhythm and harmony\, plus that magnificent organ\, filling such an acoustic space.” audience member\n“The choir was on top form.” audience member\n“I loved the unusual sounds [the] voices made in the Seven Stars piece – really compelling.” audience member\n“My highlight was the superbly dramatic Hymne au Soleil. Brilliantly varied programming.” audience member\n“I’m not sure I’d have listened properly to that extraordinary Langlais mass if it’d come on the radio\, but hearing it live\, sung with such commitment and energy\, made for a great all-encompassing encounter which reminds you why the live experience is so essential.” audience member\n“Really interesting choice of repertoire\, done well.” James Mitchell\, organist\n“You made a fantastic sound. All credit to Darius for choosing such fantastic rarely-performed repertoire\, perfect for the space and to show off our Lewis organ. You made the most of the opportunity to sing in the best acoustic in Sheffield.” Robert Webb\, Music Director of St Marie’s Cathedral

SUMMARY:Hallé Orchestra - Sheffield International Concert Season 2026/27 –
DESCRIPTION:For this concert\, the Hallé Orchestra is joined by Lidiya Yankoskaya\, a conductor with an unshakeable sense that classical music is a living\, responsive art form. She opens the concert with Missy Mazzoli’s looping\, twisting Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres). It is music that churns and rolls\, inches closer to the listener then leaps away at breakneck speed\, flinging itself recklessly into space. Henning Kraggerud\, the outstanding Norwegian violinist\, showcases his skills in Bruch’s ever-popular Violin Concerto\, with its romantic second movement and glorious finale. Born out of crisis\, Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony was written during one of the darkest periods of his life – a disastrous marriage\, a nervous breakdown and near-suicidal despair. Reflecting the composer’s inner turmoil\, the music delivers drama and drive as it journeys from emotional struggle to blazing affirmation.

SUMMARY:Brigantes War & Renewal
DESCRIPTION:PÄRT Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten\nBRITTEN Double Concerto for Violin and Viola\nVAUGHAN WILLIAMS Prelude to The 49th Parallel\nSHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No. 9 \nStep into a musical time machine and explore how great composers have shaped the sounds we hear today. Each concert in our new season begins in a different year\, then travels across the centuries to reveal how familiar ideas – beautiful melodies\, vivid storytelling\, nature\, memory and national character – have been reimagined again and again. \nArvo Pärt’s haunting tribute to Benjamin Britten takes us to 1977 and opens a programme shaped by reflection and remembrance. Britten\, Shostakovich and Vaughan Williams offer very different responses to conflict – sometimes questioning\, sometimes hopeful – showing how composers use music to process the world around them. \nAgata Daraškaitė (violin) and Elitsa Bogdanova (viola)

SUMMARY:Czech National Symphony Orchestra - Sheffield International Concert Season 2026/27
DESCRIPTION:The Czech National Symphony Orchestra returns with its Music Director\, the internationally acclaimed conductor Steven Mercurio\, bringing a programme that celebrates the spirit of Bohemia. Smetana opens each half of the concert: first\, the sparkling overture to his opera The Bartered Bride and then his vivid musical picture immortalizing the Vltava river that flows through Prague. Symphony evokes birdsong\, rustic folk dances and the open landscapes and natural surroundings of Vysoka\, a village in central Bohemia where the composer wrote the work. To complete the programme is Rachmaninov’s mighty Second Piano Concerto\, treasured for its sweeping lyricism\, rich harmonies\, and heartfelt emotion. To take the solo role is Mark Bebbington\, fast emerging as one of Britain’s most distinctive and innovative pianists.

SUMMARY:Northern Lights
DESCRIPTION:Journey north with a programme inspired by the landscapes\, folklore and elemental power of Scandinavia. \nEdvard Grieg’s much-loved music from Peer Gynt opens the concert\, transporting audiences from the serenity of Morning Mood to the thrilling drama of In the Hall of the Mountain King.  These enduring favourites capture the imagination and atmosphere of Norway’s mountains\, forests and legends. \nThe voyage continues with Bränningar (“Breaking Waves”) by the Swedish composer Helena Munktell.  A vivid and evocative orchestral work\, it paints a striking picture of the sea in motion\, showcasing a composer whose music is only now beginning to receive the wider recognition it deserves. \nThe concert culminates in Sibelius’s majestic Fifth Symphony\, one of the crowning achievements of the symphonic repertoire.  Inspired by the Finnish landscape and the sight of sixteen swans in flight\, the symphony unfolds from mysterious beginnings to one of the most uplifting and unforgettable finales ever written.

SUMMARY:ELGAR – DREAM OF GERONTIUS
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 19th June 2027 at 19.30   Victoria Hall\, Sheffield\nThe season ends with a joint performance of Elgar’s masterpiece with Sheffield Oratorio Chorus\, conducted by Philip Collin. \nSet to a poem by Cardinal John Henry Newman\, it tracks the spiritual journey of an ordinary man’s soul from his deathbed\, past judgment by God\, and into Purgatory. \n Elgar imagined Gerontius to be an ordinary man. “Therefore\, I’ve not filled his part with Church tunes and rubbish but a good\, healthy full-blooded romantic\, remembered worldliness.” The result is full of drama and some of Elgar’s most touching music\, from the hushed opening to the sublime ‘Angel’s Farewell’. \n‘This is the best of me”\, wrote Elgar ‘This\, if anything of mine\, is worth your memory.” \n“bright and well balanced sound throughout” “tremendous.” Tom Owen\, Sheffield Telegraph following a previous concert by Sheffield Bach Choir \n\nSheffield Bach Choir and Sheffield Oratorio Chorus\nNational Festival orchestra\nKatie Symonds-Joy – mezzo soprano\nPeter Davoren – tenor\nbass/baritone to be announced\nPhilip Collin – conductor\n\nTickets will be available online and on the door\, price to be determined.

SUMMARY:Brigantes Missing Pieces
DESCRIPTION:SCHUBERT Symphony No. 8\nMOZART Requiem \nStep into a musical time machine and explore how great composers have shaped the sounds we hear today. Each concert in our new season begins in a different year\, then travels across the centuries to reveal how familiar ideas – beautiful melodies\, vivid storytelling\, nature\, memory and national character – have been reimagined again and again. \nOur journey ends with a year that stays in the memory of musicians as the year of Mozart’s death – 1791. His unfinished Requiem is played alongside another iconic\, unfinished work\, the 8th Symphony of Franz Schubert. Completed by later hands\, both pieces remain powerful\, moving and deeply human\, reminding us that great music can outlive its moment and continue speaking across generations. \nThe Brigantes Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Quentin Clare with Sarah Helsby Hughes (soprano)\, Nicola Wemyss (mezzo-soprano)\, David Watkin-Holmes (tenor) & Matthew Baker (baritone).
