Clothworkers, Leeds' Lord Mayor, present and former staff, students and music enthusiasts from across the region formed the enthralled audience which came to hear Murray Perahia's concert at the University.

Works by Beethoven and Brahms were performed to commemorate the re-opening of the Clothworkers’ Centenary Concert Hall, made possible by the generous donation of £1.37m from the Clothworkers’ Foundation.

After rapturous applause Dr Perahia returned to the stage to give a virtuoso performance of Schubert's Impromptu in E flat.
