This year's Music Matters event will consist of three concerts, taking place on Thursday 10th March, Friday 11th March and Saturday 12th March at Wakefield Theatre Royal and Opera House. As we are expecting all concerts to sell out, it is advisable that anyone wanting tickets should book them as soon as possible from the theatre's booking office. In order to be fair to all families of those children taking part, the purchase of tickets will be restricted to two per child that is performing. If you require more than two tickets, any that are still available will be on general release from 1st March at the box office.
The schedule for the concerts is as follows:
Thursday 10th March
