Creative Kirklees Newsletter 6 September 2022

 

Welcome to another weekly round up of all things creative!

As mentioned last week, September sees the return of the Kirklees Concert Season for 2022-23 with four fabulous concerts coming up this month followed by a wonderful season of music to look forward to.  The first lunchtime organ concert of the Season takes place this coming Monday 12 September, when David Pipe, Huddersfield’s Organ Curator takes the helm of the magnificent Father Willis Organ.  This is followed by the Orchestra of Opera North’s “An American Concert in Paris’ on Thursday 15 September.  Later in the month a lunchtime chamber concert with violin and piano music takes place at Dewsbury Town Hall on Wednesday 21 September and popular organist Jonathan Scott from Bridgewater Hall in Manchester will be the Guest Organist at the concert on 26 September.

September also sees the welcome return of the Onwards Festival (24 & 25 September), a multi venue live music Festival with a twist which as the name suggests, leads audiences successively through Huddersfield town centre, grassroots music venues, showcasing a carefully curated programme of live music.  Tickets are available now so do check it out.

Please scroll down for lots more creative events and activities coming up in the week/s ahead.

Also, just to remind you that we are drawing ever nearer to switching to our new website, so if you want to continue receiving our newsletter, do remember to sign up – simply visit the new site here and subscribe when the subscription screen pops up!
