After being located in an office on Huddersfield’s Beast Market for many years, we are moving our office and central ensembles to the University’s Richard Steinitz Building. This move will give Musica Kirklees access to dedicated music rooms, recording studios, and both Phipps Hall and St. Paul's Concert Halls.

Statement from Musica Kirklees Principal Nick Dolling - 

“There have been a lot of collaborations with the university’s music department down the years, and we wanted to create something even better using the university’s fantastic facilities - Together with the university, we will create an industry-leading partnership for the musicians of Kirklees. The progressive paths that will open up for children of pre-school, primary and secondary age right the way through to sixth form, undergraduate and postgraduate students. A number of the young people we have worked with in local schools have gone on to study at the university and it’s wonderful that Musica Kirklees will be able to work in the environment that it deserves.”

Professor Rupert Till, Head of Department of Media, Humanities and the Arts and Professor of Music -

"I have been discussing closer collaboration with Musica Kirklees for a number of years, and we are very pleased that the organisation is moving on campus. We are planning to develop a number of new initiatives, so that we can help to provide a pathway for musical study from Primary School to PhD level and beyond into the professional musical world. This is a significant development for music education in West Yorkshire, and both the University and Musica Kirklees will benefit from shared knowledge, skills and resources."
