We’re thrilled to partner with Brudenell Piano Sessions to bring you an unforgettable series of musical events during our festival. Since 2018, Brudenell Piano Sessions has been a highlight of Leeds’ music scene, founded by acclaimed pianist and composer Simeon Walker. These sessions offer a captivating mix of genres and styles, featuring both emerging and established piano-based artists.
Join us for three consecutive Sunday lunchtime events in the breathtaking Pianodrome at Leeds City Museum, a unique circular amphitheater made from up-cycled pianos. Immerse yourself in performances by talented musicians from Leeds and across the UK.
This is a “Pay What You Can” event, welcoming all attendees. To secure your spot, we recommend reserving a space in advance. Donations can be made via card, cash, or our QR-code link, with proceeds going to the artists and future sessions. Thank you for supporting the arts!
