Print Journey

30 Apr 2026 - 30 Apr 2026

Explore a variety of printing techniques, from using simple objects to creating intricate designs and printing effects inspired by nature. This course is designed for anyone who would like to explore different ways of making art through print. Learn how to use different tools and materials to produce unique prints, experiment with textures and colours, and develop your own artistic style. This course offers a hands-on approach to becoming familiar with an array of print making techniques. Go on - give it a go! Tutor Natasha has developed this 5-week course to be easy and fun - anybody can take part. She really enjoys printing herself and is keen to share her passion with the local art community. This course will cover four different print making techniques, including: Eco Printing - making a relief print using a leaf or flower found outside. We will use colour, and tints and shades thereof to produce a 3D effect in this abstract piece. Cyanotype Prints - usually used in photography to produce Prussian blue prints. In this process we will mix and paint the cyanotype chemicals onto paper before arranging leaves, flowers and sticks collected to create an interesting image. These will be placed in the sun where the chemical will react to the UV rays to produce beautiful unique botanical blue prints. We will also be experimenting to see what other effects we can create. Fruit and Veg Prints - Using real fruit and vegetables, we will be trying out best cutting and printing techniques, working out a good design and find the best result to decorate tea towels. Foam Printing - This might look simple but it does take a subtle hand for a great outcome. Using nature as our muse, participants need to develop a simple, unique design. We will draw the design onto the foam board and use it to print onto our tote bags. In the final week we will embellish our tote bags with beads, buttons and embroidery. Tutor Natasha Deighton is an Animation graduate and former Art and Design Technology teacher. Natasha is currently a potter and new business co-owner of Art with Soul Studio, running various art and craft workshops in the Market Bosworth and Hinckley area.

Professor Alice Roberts

25 Aug 2025 - 19 Nov 2025

Join Professor Alice Roberts as she takes us on an investigative journey to establish who spread Christianity, how and why; the story of the fall of an Empire – and the rise of another. Celebrating the publication of her new book, DOMINATION, the narrative will lead audiences from a secluded valley in South Wales to the shores of Brittany; from the heart of the Roman Empire in a time of political turmoil to the ancient city of Corinth in the footsteps of the apostle Paul; from Alexandria in the fourth century to Constantinople. As the Roman Empire crumbled in Western Europe, a shadow of power remained, almost perfectly mapping onto its disappearing territories. And then, it continued to spread. Unearthing the archaeological clues and challenging long-established histories, Professor Roberts tells a remarkable story about the relationship between the Roman Empire and Christianity. Lifting the veil on secrets that have been hidden in plain sight, this story is nothing short of astonishing. Domination is a page-turning exploration of power and its survival, and now you have the opportunity to hear more from the author in this exciting evening with Professor Alice Roberts.

With her tongue firmly in her cheek, Jane Austen tells us, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." Mrs Bennet certainly thinks so.

But even Mrs Bennet draws the line at Mr Bingley’s disdainful friend Mr Darcy despite his whopping £10,000 a year. Thank heavens Lizzy, her second daughter, finds him detestable too! Or does she…? Can she see beyond his pride – and could he overcome her prejudice – to consider a possible future together?

Conceived in 1971 and finally released in 1973, it gained worldwide acclaim when the opening theme was used for the soundtrack of the horror film The Exorcist. Tubular Bells is a progressive journey through classical, jazz, folk, prog rock and electronica. Ten performers from Circa Contemporary Circus present Oldfield’s work in its physical form, their heart-stopping acrobatics intricately woven together to reflect the music. The performance is directed by Yaron Lifschitz.

Philharmonia: Beethoven & Shostakovich

30 Sept 2025 - 30 Sept 2025

Nil Venditti conductor Anastasia Kobekina cello BEETHOVEN Coriolan Overture SHOSTAKOVICH Cello Concerto No. 1 BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 7 We open our 2025/26 season in Leicester with favourites by Beethoven and Shostakovich. Beethoven judged his Symphony No. 7 to be one of his best compositions – musicians, critics, and thousands of listeners since would agree. More than two centuries after its triumphant premiere, the symphony is a mainstay of the orchestral repertoire – you might recognise its beautiful slow movement from the 2010 Oscar-winning film, The King’s Speech. We hear a darker side to Beethoven in the concert’s opening piece – his Coriolan Overture. We’re taken on a dramatic journey through war, loyalty and tragedy, packed into under 10 minutes of music inspired by the ancient Roman leader, Coriolanus. In between the two Beethoven works is Shostakovich’s fiery Cello Concerto No. 1. Widely considered the height of achievement for a cellist, the piece gives the principal horn, celesta, and indeed every member of the orchestra, the chance to shine too. Tonight, we hear it in the hands of soloist Anastasia Kobekina, prize winner at the 2019 International Tchaikovsky Competition.

Philharmonia: Bruce Liu plays Ravel

11 Apr 2026 - 11 Apr 2026

Ryan Bancroft conductor Bruce Liu piano BRITTEN Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes RAVEL Piano Concerto in G TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 5 The Philharmonia welcomes outstanding pianist Bruce Liu to Leicester. Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G was inspired by the jazz he heard on a tour of the United States. Ravel frames a serenely beautiful Adagio with outer movements of carefree, effervescent energy. It’s the perfect showcase for the magician’s fingers (Le Monde) of Bruce Liu, winner of the 2021 International Chopin Piano Competition. Tchaikovsky himself said that his Fifth Symphony represented a complete resignation before Fate, but that hasn’t stopped it becoming a firm audience favourite. It opens with the sound of footsteps on the clarinet. A singing horn melody gives the second movement a more hopeful mood, but the fateful footsteps theme returns in the third movement waltz, and triumphs in the stormy finale. To open, Ryan Bancroft – another close collaborator of the Philharmonia – has chosen Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from his opera Peter Grimes. The opera is a compelling observation of gossip and prejudice in a close-knit fishing community whose lives are intertwined with the sea and the weather. The orchestra vividly depicts the difference faces of the sea, from dawn tranquility to a fearsome storm. This concert has been hand-picked by Classic FM as one of their recommended concerts for the 2025/26 classical season.

Philharmonia: Symphonie Fantastique

26 Nov 2025 - 26 Nov 2025

Rafael Payare conductor Pacho Flores trumpet BERLIOZ Roman Carnival Overture ORTIZ Trumpet Concerto, Altar de Bronce BERLIOZ Symphonie fantastique Two of Berlioz’s most popular works frame a performance by the best trumpeter in the world in this fiesta of a concert. Latin Grammy-winning trumpeter Pacho Flores brings the house down everywhere he plays. Tonight he joins fellow Venezuelan Rafael Payare to perform Altar de Bronce (Altar of Bronze), written for him by the Philharmonia’s Featured Composer Gabriela Ortiz. Its two movements, Tin and Copper, are full of drama and invention, and the infectious rhythms of Mexican popular music. Berlioz summons up his version of carnival with timpani and tambourines rather than a full Latin percussion section. But he gives it just as much orchestral colour and energy, and adds a beautiful solo for the cor anglais. The parties continue with Symphonie fantastique – a glittering ball and a fearsome Witches’ Sabbath. In Berlioz’s musical autobiography, an infatuated young artist sees his beloved everywhere he turns. His opium-fuelled reveries soon turn to terrible nightmares, coming to a climax with the hero’s chilling vision of his own execution.

Philharmonia: Santtu & Benjamin Grosvenor in a Strauss Extravaganza

2 Jun 2026 - 2 Jun 2026

Santtu-Matias Rouvali conductor Benjamin Grosvenor piano STRAUSS Don Juan STRAUSS Rondo Burleske STRAUSS Symphonia Domestica STRAUSS Waltzes from Der Rosenkavalier (first sequence) The Philharmonia’s 80th birthday celebrations reach their grand finale – a reconstruction of a 1947 concert conducted by Richard Strauss himself. Strauss was 83, and the Philharmonia just two years old, when he conducted the orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in a concert of his own works. Santtu, an acclaimed interpreter of Strauss’s music, now steps into his formidable shoes to recreate that extraordinary occasion. Don Juan gets the concert off to a swashbuckling start. A gorgeous oboe solo paints a sensuous love scene, before heroic horns herald the libertine’s final duel. Next, top British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor brings his understated brilliance to Strauss’s Burleske. Strauss wrote this delightful work when he was just 21 – perhaps a sense of nostalgia led him to programme it again in his final concert. The autobiographical Symphonia Domestica is a portrayal of Strauss’s home life with his wife and young child. It’s full of fun and affection (and the occasional squabble), but anything but domestic in scale, calling for an orchestra of around 100 players. Its New York premiere was such a triumph that an entire floor of a Manhattan department store was cleared for two more performances, to a 6000-strong audience. Bringing the Philharmonia’s season to a graceful close, a set of waltzes from the opera Der Rosenkavalier is the delectable dessert of this 80th birthday feast.

Philharmonia: Leonidas Kavakos & Kian Soltani

6 May 2026 - 6 May 2026

Leonidas Kavakos conductor Kian Soltani cello DVORÁK Vanda Overture SCHUMANN Cello Concerto BRAHMS Symphony No. 1 Two world-class musicians join forces for a charming programme of classical hits. Schumann’s Cello Concerto remains a beloved favourite in the cello repertoire. The three movements seamlessly flow as one continuous piece of music packed with emotional intensity. Full of tender lyricism, soulful melodies and a daring solo cello part, it’s perfectly suited to Kian Soltani’s "piercingly beautiful tone and utterly pure intonation" (The Times). Brahms’s magnificent First Symphony was many years in the making. And it may never have seen the light of day without the support and friendship of Robert Schumann and his wife Clara – an article by Robert Schumann launched Brahms’s composing career when the three first met, and they soon became devoted friends. The symphony is a 45-minute journey through all the poetry and power an orchestra can conjure. As the starter for his Romantic feast, Leonidas Kavakos has chosen a Dvorák rarity – the overture to his almost-forgotten opera Vanda. It’s a suitably dramatic scene-setter for the story of a heroic Polish queen. You may also be interested in: Philharmonia 2025/2026 Season [https://www.demontforthall.co.uk/philharmonia-25-26/]
