On the last Friday of every month, the Rutland & Derby host their live lounge with a different artist every month.

A free lunchtime concert for all which takes place every Tuesday at 12:15pm in the Attenborough Arts Hall – no booking required. Come alone or with friends, and you’re welcome to bring your lunch.

Classical music is a timeless and universal art form, transcending geographic and cultural boundaries. Although traditionally associated with the western canon, the richness of classical music is indebted to the diverse influences and contributions from the African and African Caribbean Diaspora.

To launch Black History Month 2026, Black Classics in Concert is more than a mere showcase of musical excellence; it is a profound tribute to the cultural legacies and transformative contributions of the African and African Caribbean Diaspora. Join us for an exciting evening celebrating the music of Black composers from across the Diaspora. Alison Buchanan has gathered an impressive lineup of singers to regale you with opera, song and spirituals.
