Kirklees Concert Season 2010/11

Culture & Leisure
events@kirklees.gov.uk

This season's theme is 'romantics and revolutionaries'. There will be plenty of reminders during the course of the season of how times of momentous change can often be a spur to the creation of great, visionary art.
Passionate performance of inspirational music characterises the Kirklees season, creating a special, very direct line of communication between players and audiences.This excitement for music is a philosophy we share with Classic FM, Britain's most successful commercial radio station. So, in an exciting new departure for us all, the Orchestra of Opera North becomes Classic FM's Orchestra in Yorkshire from 2010.
Our resident Orchestra thus joins the other Classic FM orchestras who are our regular guests in the season: the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and the Northern Sinfonia.
Together with Classic FM, we have selected four concerts that we think make ideal introductions to the power and variety of great classical music. If you've never tried one before, these 'Classic FM recommends' concerts are the perfect place to start; if you come already, how about bringing your friends?
Completing our showcase of the great northern orchestras, we are also pleased to welcome the superb musicians of the BBC Philharmonic to Kirklees and, for the first time in several years, the Hallé.
The organ and lunchtime chamber concerts continue to thrive, and there is a wealth of wonderful music-making to be enjoyed in both series again this year.
