Leeds Lieder, established in 2004, is a small arts organisation with big ideas. With its annual festival celebrating the art song repertoire, it has consistently punched above its weight, bringing world-class classical singers and pianists to perform in Leeds.

But each summer, the Northern Aldborough Festival welcomes opera singers, acclaimed pianists, and jazz ensembles who mingle amongst the village’s remarkable collection of Roman artefacts and mosaics.
