Nay master, percussionist and composer, Faris Ishaq charts unexplored territories with one of the oldest types of flute still in use today, the Nay. Rooted in his Palestinian heritage, Faris celebrates the instrument, which has Middle Eastern roots dating back to around 5000 BCE, and its cultural legacy, in his own compositions. In ‘Jasad’ – Arabic for ‘body’ – he draws on the essence of the Nay to create a distinctive solo setup, playing the instrument alongside a leg-mounted frame drum and foot percussion, and weaves these sounds together to produce a multi-layered acoustic solo performance. With exceptional dexterity and expressive nuance, he blends intricate melodies with dynamic beats to evoke the feel of looped textures while being fully acoustic. “A walking musical genius” – Max Reinhard, former BBC Radio 3 🎫 JASAD: MUSIC FOR MIDDLE EASTERN FLUTE Faris Ishaq 🗓️ Sat 28 February, 7pm 📍 Crucible Playhouse, Sheffield Theatres See comments for details and booking link.

With their 2025 two-piano concert described as “piano playing at its most… visceral” (Bachtrack), Tim Horton and Ivana Gavrić return to the Crucible Playhouse for a concert of spellbinding and exhilarating music for two pianos. Rachmaninov’s own arrangement of his ‘Symphonic Dances’ takes centre stage, with its arresting rhythmic passages and virtuosic energy. Debussy’s ‘En blanc et noir’, by contrast, sees expressionist clouds of colour conjured from the two pianos, while Ravel’s poetic ‘La valse’ is best described by the composer himself: “Whirling clouds give glimpses, through rifts, of couples dancing. The clouds scatter, little by little. One sees an immense hall peopled with a twirling crowd. The scene is gradually illuminated. The light of the chandeliers bursts forth, fortissimo”. This concert will be recorded by BBC Radio 3 for future broadcast. 🎫 SYMPHONIC DANCES FOR TWO PIANOS Ivana Gavric & Tim Horton, Piano 🗓️ Thurs 26 February, 7pm 📍 Crucible Playhouse, Sheffield Theatres See comments for details and booking link. #thisischambermusic #Sheffield #sheffieldevents #sheffieldmusic #piano #twopianos #ivanagavrić #timhortonpiano #debussy #Ravel #rachmaninov #symphonicdances #culturesheffield Welcome to Sheffield Classical Sheffield
