Created by Paraorchestra, Charles Hazlewood, Jeremy Deller and the people of Bradford.
The Bradford Progress celebrates the glorious variety of music made in Bradford – and the people who make it.
Over a weekend in May, the Bradford District will come alive with music made by musicians and singers who call our district home – a sonic journey ending in the centre of the city.
The Bradford Progress is created with and for the people of Bradford in collaboration with Paraorchestra, the pioneering ensemble of disabled and non-disabled musicians led by artistic director Charles Hazlewood, and Jeremy Deller, the Turner Prize-winning artist behind works such as We’re Here Because We’re Here and Acid Brass.
Co-produced by Paraorchestra and Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture.
