BBC Radio 3's Unclassified programme sees the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra performing with Hatis Noit and cellist Abel Selaocoe at Peel Hall.

Sian Roberts from Sounds From The Other City said: "The BBC Philharmonic performance is really an evolution of the Radio 3 Red Brick Sessions which started in Peel Hall about 4 years ago, whilst SFTOC has really had an ambition to bring a big stage to Maxwell Hall for a number of years."

The festival will take place around locations across Chapel Street in local pubs, churches, and community corners. 2020 is the very first year festival-goers will get the chance to see acts perform on campus at Maxwell Hall and Peel Hall.
