A club night offering an alternative way to experience live classical music is coming to Manchester following a series of sold-out shows in London earlier this year.
Inspired by the UK’s great underground club scene and thriving jazz venues, through the noise’s noisenights will make its debut appearance in the city-region this Autumn at Band On The Wall.
The event is part of a new movement to take classical stars out of the concert hall and bring them to grass-roots music venues where you wouldn’t expect to see them. The event on December 3 will feature performers Sheku Kanneh-Mason MBE and Harry Baker.

Royal wedding star cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason will bring the format to Manchester in December, with a programme that sold-out an East London techno club twice over. He won the BBC Young Musician award in 2016 and performed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding ceremony in May 2018.
Sheku said: “As performers we respond so much to the space we are in, not just acoustically, but the energy of the room and the people in it. This will be a special opportunity to share music we love in a new setting.”
The club night came to fruition through the use of an unique crowdfunding platform in order to stay affordable and accessible. The platform allows the public to become ‘backers’ in return for tickets to their chosen event and priority booking for future events. Each night is confirmed when it is fully funded, ensuring that only concerts that are popular go ahead.
The system has already helped to fund ten shows in London over the past year. through the noise Co-founder and Artistic Director Jack Bazalgette said:
