Experience The Brigantes Orchestra live on March 12th

The Brigantes Orchestra will perform a concert at Sheffield Cathedral on March 12, 2027. The Brigantes Orchestra is a chamber orchestra specializing in historically informed performance practice, focusing primarily on music from the Baroque and Classical periods. They are known for utilizing period instruments and striving for authentic interpretations of works by composers such as Bach, Handel, and Mozart. The orchestra frequently collaborates with both established and emerging soloists.

Sheffield Cathedral, formally The Cathedral Church of St Peter and St Paul, has origins dating back to the 7th century, though the current building largely reflects Victorian Gothic Revival architecture completed in 1907 following a major rebuilding project led by J.L. Pearson. Prior to this extensive renovation, the site housed a series of earlier churches, with significant medieval remains still visible – notably the remnants of a 15th-century tower and parts of the Norman church. It became the seat of the Bishop of Sheffield in 1934, elevating its status from a parish church. The cathedral features notable stained glass windows and serves as an active place of worship alongside its function as a cultural venue. Its acoustics are considered particularly well-suited to musical performances.
