Return of the Kirklees Concert Season 2021-22

Return of the Kirklees Concert Season 2021-22

Kirklees Council and Opera North have announced the return of live music to Huddersfield and Dewsbury Town Halls in September after a year of silence, with a full programme of orchestral, chamber and organ concerts for the Kirklees Concert Season 2021-22, which will include the University of Huddersfield Brass Band Extravaganzas as part of the lunchtime series.

Opening this September, the Orchestra of Opera North’s adventurous programme at Huddersfield Town Hall ranges from a belated birthday celebration for Beethoven, to the drama and dissonance of the twentieth century, to a world premiere and new commissions from emerging composers. Intimate chamber concerts with small ensembles from the Orchestra return to Dewsbury Town Hall on Wednesday lunchtimes, concluding with a warm farewell to Leader David Greed.

Under new Guest Curator David Pipe, Monday lunchtime concerts on Huddersfield Town Hall’s famous Father Willis organ include guest debuts, works by contemporary composers alongside more traditional repertoire, and the return of former Borough Organist Dr Gordon Stewart.

Tickets for all events will go on sale in July, a little later than usual to allow for alignment with government guidance as the path out of lockdown continue.
