Free Concerts on Campus

Throughout term time we run free informal recitals and events in Firth Hall. Including visiting guests and the performances from the talented students from the Department of Music. Be prepared to be blown away by phenomenal performances, classic recitals, folk tunes and much more. These events run during term time, predominantly in Firth Hall. These are informal concerts, so food and work are welcome. Also don’t worry if you need to leave early or arrive late, you can sneak out whenever, no questions asked!

These events are free to attend and are performed at lunch time and rush hour, which we believe make the events accessible for everyone to enjoy. To find out more about each event, follow the link in the event name.
