Take a stroll along country byways with Beethoven and his ‘Pastoral’ Symphony.
‘How happy I am to be able to walk among the shrubs, the trees, the woods, the grass and the rocks!’ Beethoven once exclaimed. His Sixth Symphony – complete with bird calls, flowing water and merry-making country folk – is a wonderfully evocative portrait of pastoral life in the early-19th century, and a rare example of the great German composer penning deliberately descriptive music.
We hear it alongside two works with a Parisian accent. Written during a stint in the French capital, Mozart’s rarely performed Concerto for Flute and Harp was commissioned by a flute-playing aristocrat and his harpist daughter. It is suffused with all the elegance and grace that you would expect from Mozart, while also displaying wonderful resourcefulness in his handling of such an unusual solo pairing.
Premiered at the Paris Opera nearly 150 years later, Pulcinella looks both forwards and backwards. Igor Stravinsky’s ballet is built from a patchwork of re-discovered scores by long-forgotten composers. Yet his irreverent, staggeringly original orchestrations – heard here in a single concert suite – would point the way to a ‘neo-Classical’ future, influencing a whole generation of composers

Hue & Cry
🎶 Hue and Cry bring their acclaimed Electro/Acoustic show to Huddersfield Town Hall in 2026 – and you won’t want to miss it! Please join us for an unforgettable night of timeless pop, soul, and passion from one of Scotland’s most iconic duos.
Brothers Patrick and Gregory Kane formed Hue and Cry in 1984 and burst onto the scene with the hit single Labour of Love from their debut album Seduced and Abandoned. Their follow-up album Remote delivered massive hits Looking for Linda and Violently, securing their place in pop history. Over the decades, they’ve released critically acclaimed albums including Stars Crash Down, Showtime, Jazz Not Jazz, Open Soul, Bitter Suite Again, and Pocketful of Stones, selling over two million records worldwide.
Hue and Cry have shared the stage with legends such as U2, James Brown, Madonna, Al Green, and Van Morrison, and continue to wow fans at headline shows and major festivals across the UK.
In 2019, they sold out their Summer Nights at the Bandstand show at Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park in just hours. During the lockdown, they pioneered the ‘Live from Lockdown’ streaming series, which reached thousands globally and was later released as the Best of Lockdown album.
This special Electro/Acoustic performance showcases the duo at their very best – up close and personal, with rich harmonies, unforgettable melodies, and heartfelt lyrics. It’s everything you’d expect from world-class musicians and songwriters.
With glowing reviews like “They’ve lasted because they are brilliant” (Radio 2), “After all the years they sound better than ever” (Lorraine), and “The best act of the day” (Daily Express), this is a show you’ll be talking about long after the final note fades. 🎤
