Your guide to April's music events is here! This weekend we welcome the Leyland Band and Kantos Chamber Choir for unmissable performances in and around the city, and we're gearing up for next month's world premiere performance of Parable - a brand-new orchestral piece by Leeds-based producer, NikNak. Get to know NikNak in our interview.
The last few Lunchtime Chamber Music concerts take place this month before a hiatus until the autumn. Both concerts feature the cello - this week Lili Holland-Fricke intertwines music by Johann Sebastian Bach with her own compositions, and next week cellist Leo Popplewell and pianist Dominic Degavino join forces for a duo programme of cello masterworks.
See you at a concert soon, Leeds International Concert Season
Expect an electrifying programme from the Leyland Band, featuring stunning solo performances, epic movie moments and brass classics, including John Williams' Duel of the Fates and Summon the Heroes/The Incredibles, Philip Sparke's Navigation Inn, Rebecca Lundberg's Conspiracy, Richard Rodgers' Slaughter on 10th Ave, Arthur Hamilton's Cry Me a River and John Hartmann's La Belle Americaine. View the full programme.
Kantos Chamber Choir returns to Leeds with a performance of The Little Match Girl Passion by American composer David Lang. The piece sets Hans Christian Andersen’s story The Little Match Girl in the format of Johann Sebastian Bach’s St Matthew Passion, interspersing Andersen’s narrative with Lang’s versions of the crowd and character responses from Bach’s Passion.
Experience a ground-breaking fusion of turntablism and orchestral music with the world premiere performance of Parable, a brand-new work by Leeds-based producer and turntablist, NikNak. Inspired by the graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower, this new orchestral piece explores powerful themes of resilience, community and change, transforming the novel's dystopian themes into a compelling sound world.
Through the Noise: Aaron Azunda Akugbo & Milo Harper
Classic FM’s Rising Star-nominated Aaron Azunda Akugbo plays trumpet with harpist Milo Harper to present a night-themed programme of bespoke arrangements and songs that shed a spotlight on black and queer culture. The duo's programme includes works by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Florence Price and Lili Boulanger.
In anticipation of Parable, we caught up with NikNak, the award-winning Leeds-based turntablist, DJ and producer, to delve into her creative process, inspirations and what audiences can expect from her upcoming collaboration with Chineke! Orchestra and cellist Ayanna Witter-Johnson.
Lili Holland-Fricke is an experimental cellist, music-writer and improviser based in Manchester. In this programme she intertwines movements from Johann Sebastian Bach’s solo cello suites with her own music.

Stephen May 'Green Ink'
City Library, Wednesday 16th April 6.30pm
Stephen May will be talking about his new novel 'Green Ink'.
No one really knows what happened to Victor Grayson – he vanished one night in late September 1920, having threatened to reveal all he knew about the prime minister’s involvement in selling honours. Was he murdered by the British government? By enemies in the socialist movement (who he had betrayed in the war)? Did he fall in the Thames drunk? Did he vanish to save his own life, and become an antiques dealer in Kent? Whatever the truth, Green Ink imagines what might have been with brio, humour and humanity; and is a reminder that the past was once as alive as we are today.
'Intrigue, betrayal, redemption - a glimpse behind the political scenes of a bygone British era that feels very contemporary' - Rachel Seiffert
'Stephen May has a nose for fascinating historical events, which he then gives the fictional treatment' - The Times Books to Look Out For In 2025
'Funny, scurrilous, revealing and memorable' - Historical Novel Society
