In the early 20th century Square Chapel had its own “Square Orchestra” – and Orchestra of Square Chapel have continued this tradition. We have presented over 100 concerts of high-quality small-scale orchestral music at Square Chapel since 1998.
Orchestra of Square Chapel is a community-based, not-for-profit chamber orchestra, playing small-scale works by established composers as well as introducing less well-known pieces.
Due to the closure of Square Chapel as a performance space in February 2025, Orchestra of Square Chapel currently perform at St John the Divine, Rastrick, Brighouse HD6 1HT.
In the heart of Halifax, Square Chapel stands next to the Piece Hall and within easy reach of Halifax town centre and railway station. To quote Jessica Sutcliffe, founder trustee, “No one enters Square Chapel without being impressed by its extraordinary space, light and decayed elegance.”
