Leeds Music
An independent multi-arts venue, the city's own concert season, and the opera company's more intimate second stage -- Leeds's live music, from classical to whatever Chapel Allerton is putting on this week.
Leeds International Concert Season and Howard Assembly Room (Opera North's smaller venue) carry the classical/orchestral end; Seven Arts, an independent multi-arts venue in Chapel Allerton, extends the same live-performance thread into jazz, folk, and contemporary programming outside the classical mainstream. Opera North itself anchors the city's most significant classical music institution.

The city's own concert series, bringing touring orchestras and soloists to Leeds venues rather than relying on a single resident company.
Explore venue →Howard Assembly Room
Opera North's more intimate second stage -- song recitals, chamber programming, and cross-arts work alongside the main opera house programme next door.
Explore venue →Opera North
One of England's national opera companies, based in Leeds rather than London -- the city's most significant classical music institution.
Explore venue →Northern Ballet
Categorised as dance, not music -- but a ballet performance's music, whether a full live orchestra or a recorded score, is as central to the experience as the choreography. Northern Ballet's Leeds seasons put that essential musicality in the room next to the concert halls above.
