If you’re in or near Leeds next weekend, don’t miss this concert! Jessica Burroughs (cello) gave us a fantastic performance alongside Fenella Humphrey (violin) and Martin Roscoe (piano) in September 2023 and it was truly something special. Definitely one to look forward to!

On Saturday 5 April we’re delighted to perform Elgar’s Cello Concerto with soloist Jessica Burroughs, section leader of the Orchestra of Opera North.

Jessica has received accolades for her performances as an international soloist and guest principal of many of the UK’s leading orchestras, as well as for her recordings. We can’t wait to hear her interpretation of this most profound and emotional of works, composed in the wake of the First World War.

The programme includes Andrew Downes ‘Towards a New Age’ and Sibelius Symphony No. 3, conducted by Anthony Kraus.

To secure your tickets in advance, please book via Eventbrite. Online sales will finish at midday the day before the concert with a limited number available on the door:
