Experience Garry Walker live on September 24th

Garry Walker, a British composer known for his vibrant and often dramatic orchestral writing, will present a concert at Huddersfield Town Hall on September 24, 2026.

His work often features complex rhythmic structures and explores themes of narrative and atmosphere.

Huddersfield Town Hall, completed in 1881, is a significant example of Victorian Gothic architecture. Designed by Joseph Kaye, it was built to provide a civic and cultural centre for the rapidly growing town during the industrial revolution. The building’s Great Hall, where the concert will take place, is renowned for its exceptional acoustics – achieved through careful design incorporating principles of resonance and sound reflection – and its ornate interior featuring a notable pipe organ constructed by Conacher & Company. Throughout its history, the Town Hall has hosted a wide range of events including concerts, political rallies, and ceremonial functions. It remains a central landmark within Huddersfield and continues to serve as an important venue for artistic performances. The building underwent extensive restoration work completed in 2023 preserving its historical features while modernising facilities.
