HCS Christmas Concert
What better start to the Christmas season than rousing singing and a brass band? This year, HCS welcomes back on stage its own Youth Choirs for a concert full of festive treats. For those who’ve never experienced The Choral, this is the perfect introduction to HCS. There’ll be powerful singing, exquisite hushed moments, foot-tapping band numbers – and of course the opportunity to raise the town hall roof yourselves.Booking now open!

Handel: Messiah
Recognised as HCS’s signature piece, Messiah, is probably the most celebrated choral work – and for many, the start of Christmas proper.

Charlotte is already building an international reputation and was Critics’ Circle Conductor of the Year in 2025. You won’t want to miss it.Booking now open!

Handel: Messiah
Recognised as HCS’s signature piece and performed yearly since 1864, Messiah is probably the most celebrated choral work – and for many, the start of Christmas proper. This year we are pleased to be giving a second performance of this great work, for the first time in Hull City Hall.

Summer Concert: Friday Night is Music Night
Friday Night Is Music Night is the world's longest-running live orchestral music radio programme – having been first broadcast in 1953. Its lynchpin is the BBC Concert Orchestra and the programmes feature many types of music, including classical, light, film, theatre, songs from the musicals, and opera and operetta. One of its biggest appeals is its unpredictable playlist, which is left unrevealed until broadcast. For that reason, we can’t tell you what the programme will be. You’ll just have to come along and find out!Booking now open!
