Concert Ticket offer for Schools

Kirklees has a wonderful music heritage and keen to keep this going with a new generation of concert-goers Kirklees Concert Season are offering £2 tickets for schools and students in groups of 10 or more.

There's a fantastic range of concerts in Huddersfield and Dewsbury Town Halls, lunchtime and evenings, including the forthcoming BBC Philharmonic with Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet taking place on Wednesday February 17 at 7.30pm at Huddersfield Town Hall. Other highlights include the Orchestra of Opera North's 'The Planets' on Wednesday April 28, 7.30pm at Huddersfield Town Hall. With music students from the University of Huddersfield and the winner of the 2009 Leeds International Piano Competition, this is set to be a fantastic concert.

For an extra insight into the music being played concert-goers can join in Talking Music (before the evening concerts) where the Concert Manager and conductor talk to the audience about that evening’s music and the conductor’s approach to it - a wonderful opportunity for students and young people.

There is also a fine selection of lunchtime concerts in Dewsbury which feature a selection of chamber concerts once a month, and in Huddersfield there are regular organ concerts on the magnificent Father Wills Organ.
