Experience Will Todd live on December 20th

Will Todd will present a concert at the Howard Assembly Room in Leeds on December 20, 2026. Todd is a British composer and jazz pianist known for blending choral, jazz, and classical influences within his work. His compositions often feature lyrical melodies, complex harmonies, and rhythmic vitality, frequently incorporating vocal ensembles alongside instrumental forces. He has received commissions from numerous choirs and orchestras internationally and is recognised for accessibility alongside musical sophistication.

The Howard Assembly Room is a restored 18th-century music hall located within the Grand Theatre in Leeds. Originally built as a saloon for theatre patrons in 1906, it underwent significant refurbishment and reopened in 2009 as a dedicated intimate performance space. The room’s design retains many of its original features, including ornate plasterwork and a domed ceiling, creating a unique acoustic environment particularly suited to chamber music, recitals and smaller-scale performances. It is managed by Opera North and hosts a diverse programme encompassing classical, contemporary, world, and jazz music events. The venue's capacity is approximately 300 seated or 500 standing.
