what are noisenights?
noisenights are our vision for the future of classical music: informal crowdfunded events featuring international soloists in bars, converted warehouses, and nightclubs.

Most noisenights feature two short classical sets, one early evening, one late. All tickets to the late set include live music or DJs for the rest of the night, including jazz, latin, afrobeat, swing and funk acts.
This noisenight currently only has one set - but we're ready to add another, dependent on demand.
Live music needs your backing more than ever. Becoming a noisenight backer means getting tickets to hear the world's best performers up close while becoming part of a community working for a positive future for live music.
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. These tickets are released in three 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:
Jeneba will showcase her favourite solo piano repertoire, including Franz Liszt's iconic Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and Sergei Prokofiev's Sonata No. 7, alongside pieces by Claude Debussy and Dmitri Shostakovich.
