To date, a number of local music organisations have formed working groups who are in the early stages of developing the best ways to celebrate the quality and diversity of music in the area.
There is loads of work to do and here are some of those who have started to think and plan for 2023: Marsden Jazz Festival, Cleckheaton Folk Festival, The Grand Northern Ukulele Festival, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Small Seeds, The Parish, the University of Huddersfield and the Student Union, Pat Fulgoni, Musica Kirklees, Hoot Creative Arts, the Centre for Research in New Music, Opera North, Love 4 All – Reggae Festival, Shepley Spring Folk Festival, Huddersfield Carnival, Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra, Huddersfield Choral Society to name a few! But we all know there are so many more people we need to talk to, and this event is about continuing that conversation.
