The summer festival season is finally here! We present the very best UK classical music festivals to look out for in 2026

04/05/2026

Come and join us on Wed 20th May from 5:30-6:30pm to have a tour of Canada House and help us kick off a special design project that's going to start in the Autumn.

Have your say on the future of Canada House and get stuck in to an exciting Live Project with a team of students from the School of Architecture and Landscape at the University of Sheffield!

The Youth Forum will help shape the brief given to a students in September, and will work with them to reimagine the inside and outside of the building. We will be discussing questions like:

How do you feel about the building at the moment? Do you like it? Which bits are you less keen on?
What the should the experience of entering and leaving the building look and feel like in the future?
How would you like the spaces inside the building to look and feel? What do you want from the building?

You will be given a tour of the building, including areas the general public don’t get to see… There will be drinks and snacks provided and if you need to get a bus or tram ticket to join us, we will cover that cost for you.

To register for the session head to the Youth Forum page on our website (dropped in the comments) or follow the QR code.

In anticipation of the Sheffield Chamber Music Festival 2026, we are thrilled to welcome some of the world’s finest musicians and stellar guest artists involved as we invite you to .

Meet our resident ensemble, Ensemble 360.

Ensemble 360 has gained an enviable reputation across the UK for the quality and integrity of their performances. Formed in 2005, eleven musicians of international standing came together to take up residency in South Yorkshire with Music in the Round, establishing a versatile group comprising five string players, five wind players and a pianist.

The Ensemble 360 musicians share a passion for the music which radiates through each performance. Their enthusiasm, drive and musicality captivate audiences both through the quality of their playing and their engaging spoken introductions. Due to the flexible nature of the group’s line-up the repertoire possibilities are enormous; anything from baroque duos, through classical quartets to new commissions for all eleven players.
