Festival volunteers

The Leeds Song Festival will take place from 11 – 18 April 2026, featuring 35 public events across various venues, including the Howard Assembly Rooms, Leeds Conservatoire, The Attic, Leeds Museum, and Left Bank Leeds.

The 2026 festival “Music gives a soul to the universe” brings you concerts and recitals by renowned artists like Roderick Williams OBE, Louise Alder, Marianne Crebassa, Huw Montague-Rendall, Gareth Malone, Dame Sarah Connolly, Patricia Nolz, and many more. Young Artist masterclasses will be led by the esteemed Bernarda Fink, Mark Padmore, and Roger Vignoles.
