At Showcase, we celebrate the joy of live music in a warm, informal setting. Our concerts highlight a rich variety of musical styles and ensembles—from chamber music and jazz to folk and contemporary—so there’s always something fresh and inspiring to enjoy.
The Showcase programme brings together a mix of outstanding young musicians from the Chester area, well-known local artists, and talented students from prestigious institutions like the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) and Chetham’s School of Music.
We’re passionate about supporting the next generation of performers. Showcase often provides young musicians with their first opportunity to play in public, helping them build confidence and share their passion with a friendly, supportive audience.
Alongside emerging talent, you’ll also hear performances from local amateur groups and soloists, creating a vibrant, inclusive musical community. Come along, sit back, and enjoy the music.
