what are noisenights?
noisenights are our vision for the future of classical music: crowdfunded gigs taking world-leading musicians to iconic independent venues.

At the centre of every noisenight is a one-hour classical set. We platform international soloists and ensembles while also giving opportunities to outstanding new artists. All noisenights take place in gig venues where you get to experience classical music up close.
Live music needs your backing more than ever. Backing a noisenight means getting tickets to hear the world's best performers in grassroots venues and being part of a community working for a positive future for live music. Putting it simply, you giving your backing will make this gig happen and secure you a ticket.
After a noisenight reaches its funding target, we'll e-mail all backers to confirm it and a small amount of extra tickets will be made available. Tickets are released in four stages, which increase in price the closer to the event they're purchased. Book early to get the best price.
Please note that due to the venue's license, this noisenight is strictly 14+.
the venue:
Located in Leeds’ Northern Quarter, Belgrave Music Hall and Canteen first opened its doors in 1934 as Leeds Children’s Palace; a 3-storey recreation hall and nursery built to provide childcare support for the working families of Leeds.
After many years of neglect, the building has been restored to its former glory, boasting two bars, a roof terrace, and a room which hosts live music and local artists' exhibitions.
the music:
French classical pianist Lise de la Salle will bring the sounds of 19th century Paris to this rare solo performance in the UK, with music by Gabriel Fauré, Frédéric Chopin, and Maurice Ravel.

Her playing inspired a Washington Post critic to write, “For much of the concert, the audience had to remember to breathe… the exhilaration didn’t let up for a second until her hands came off the keyboard.”
In 2023/24 she joins Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Thomas Søndergård on tour in Scotland, then for the orchestra’s three-night residency at Salzburg’s Grosses Festspielhaus.
