Late Music Concert – 4 July 2026

Saturday 4th July, 7:30pm at York Unitarian Chapel

We close our 2026 season with a blockbuster performance from the phenomenal Delta Saxophone Quartet. This concert bridges the gap between contemporary classical innovation and art-rock royalty, tracing a line through the subcultures and energy of two defining pillars of British music: David Bowie and The Stranglers.

To mark the 10th anniversary of his passing, the first half of the evening is dedicated to a thrilling, reimagined take on David Bowie’s final masterpiece, Blackstar, while following the interval, the energy shifts to a celebration of iconic punk-new wave pioneers The Stranglers.

Both Bowie and The Stranglers masterfully walked the tightrope between pop accessibility and avant-garde subversion, defining the sound of an era. The Deltas promise to extend this legacy with a combination of specially commissioned arrangements and new works inspired by these musical icons. The concert will also mark the launch of their new album, Hanging Around.

Pre-concert by Chris Caldwell at 6.45pm with a complimentary glass of wine or juice.
