GreenMatthews: Midsummer Revels
GreenMatthews – Midsummer Revels 🌞🎶
Sunday 28 June 2026 | Matinee performance at 1pm
Huddersfield Town Hall
Lunch served from 11:30am
Join us for a delightful summer afternoon of music, wit, and charm at Huddersfield Town Hall, as acclaimed duo GreenMatthews return with their brand-new seasonal celebration: Midsummer Revels.
Following the success of their enchanting Midwinter Revels, this sun-kissed sequel draws audiences into a warm and joyful world of traditional English folksongs, self-penned pieces, and irresistibly toe-tapping tunes. From tales of the land and sea to songs of town and country, this intimate performance captures the very spirit of the English summer – evoking lush green fields, blue skies, and the music of days gone by.
Performed on a fascinating array of instruments – including English border bagpipes, mandocello, and shawm – and laced with GreenMatthews’ trademark humour and theatrical flair, Midsummer Revels promises a vibrant, feel-good experience with an elegant folk twist.
🫖 Before the performance, enjoy a relaxed and sociable light lunch served in the Town Hall's charming setting from 11:30am, featuring homemade soup, a selection of freshly prepared sandwiches, hot and cold drinks and a tempting array of delicious cakes – the perfect prelude to a delightful musical afternoon. (* to purchase separately on the day)
🎟️ Tickets are on sale now – early booking is highly recommended for this intimate performance. Whether you're a lover of chamber music, folk traditions, or simply looking for a refreshing cultural escape, Midsummer Revels is a perfect way to welcome the season.
“You guys are awesome!”

Sufi Qawwali Night with Fanna-Fi-Allah
Experience the Timeless Tradition of Sufi Qawwali – Live in Concert
Now in their 26th year of international touring, Fanna-Fi-Allah remains one of the foremost traditional Qawwali ensembles in the world today. With thousands of performances across 50+ countries, they carry the living spirit of Sufi shrine music to global audiences, offering a rare and powerful immersion into this devotional art form. Led by Tahir Qawwal and supported by a masterful ensemble of tabla, harmonium, and choral vocals, the group stays rooted in the classical Qawwali tradition—without fusion, electronics, or pop crossover.
Each performance is a vibrant expression of spiritual passion, featuring the poetry of Sufi saints such as Amir Khusrau and Baba Farid, delivered through the powerful rhythms of clapping, soaring chorus lines, and deep, trance-inducing cycles. The atmosphere includes whirling Sufi dancing and a communal, ecstatic energy that transcends language or belief. Though born in the Sufi Islamic tradition, this music invites all people—regardless of background—into a shared space of unity and divine love.
For those new to Qawwali, this is a beautiful opportunity to witness the tradition as it has been carried for centuries. And for longtime listeners, it’s a continuation of Fanna-Fi-Allah’s dedication to preserving and sharing this sacred music with reverence and vigor. Join us for an unforgettable evening of music that uplifts the heart and honors the timeless message of the Sufis.

Vivaldi The Four Seasons
Katie Stillman - Violin & Director
Celebrate the passing of the seasons with Vivaldi’s famous quartet of concertos.
The barking of a dog, the buzzing of flies, a drunkard staggering home: these are just a few of the pictures ingeniously painted in Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Published in 1725, his set of four violin concertos was staggeringly ahead of its time, a forerunner to the ‘programme music’ of Liszt, Berlioz and Richard Strauss over a century later.
Still, it is the musical backdrop to these events – the atmosphere Vivaldi creates across the length of each concerto – that sticks with the listener longest. This rich, shimmering collection is a celebration of contrasts: between the icy chill of winter, the freshness of spring, the sticky heat of summer and the closing dark of autumn.
Described by The Strad as playing with ‘panache and authority’, our Leader Kate Stillman takes centre-stage, unpacking one of the great solos in the repertoire as she takes the Orchestra of Opera North through four vivid soundscapes.
