Description

Harmony Works (HW) will transform the Grade II* listed Canada House (CH) in Castlegate in the heart of Sheffield into a home for inspirational music education and opportunity for a wide range of
audiences, including and especially young people. It will provide a much-needed, inclusive and accessible hub for music education that celebrates excellence and invites all young people to explore their musical potential. In doing so, it brings an outstanding Victorian heritage building back into public use for the first time in many years, and will anchor the culture-led regeneration of the Castlegate quarter. The project will conserve and protect the outstanding features of Canada House, whilst bringing much needed additional capacity to South Yorkshire, and helping to attract
world class musicians.
