Leeds was a small town until the late eighteenth century. Musical life expanded and became more ambitious as new venues opened, opportunities for musical studies expanded, and high-calibre performers were attracted to perform here. As one of the top UK cities, Leeds has hosted many of the world’s greatest violinists and local players have made careers at national and international level.
See some of the places in Leeds city centre, apart from venues featuring in the Red Violin Festival, that have been associated with violinists, performances and makers.
