Strings of Opera North

Wednesday 2 September 2026

On sale soon

The string section of the Orchestra of Opera North takes centre stage for the first chamber lunchtime concert of the season, directed by Leader Katie Stillman.

The playful Entr’acte from Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw opens the programme. Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence for string sextet was completed following a stay in its namesake city, and has become a mainstay of the string chamber repertoire.

Enjoy a pre-concert lunch, served in the stunning surroundings of Kirklees’ historic town halls, before every chamber concert. With a choice of soup and a roll, sandwiches, cakes and hot and cold drinks. Served from 11.30am. All items individually priced. No need to book, just turn up and enjoy!
