The Bradford Progress: The Broadway

18 May 2025

13:30 - 14:00

The Broadway Bradford

The Bradford Progress, our two-day musical journey across Bradford District, arrives in the city centre for a mesmerising performance from Paraorchestra and artistic director Charles Hazlewood.

Some 66 musicians will be spread throughout The Broadway to perform Steve Reich’s The Four Sections – rove and roam as you like among them to experience what Paraorchestra call The Anatomy of the Orchestra.

Every musical moment on The Bradford Progress is free with no booking required. Capacity is limited in The Broadway: we’d recommend arriving in good time for the start of this 30-minute performance at 1.30pm, then following the music to the Mirror Pool in City Park for the joyous conclusion of The Bradford Progress.

Part of The Bradford Progress, an unbroken two-day musical journey across Bradford District created by Paraorchestra, artistic director Charles Hazlewood, artist Jeremy Deller and the people of Bradford.
