A new Sheffield music venue has been awarded almost \u00a3120,000 of council funding to help complete the project after a meeting of the council\u2019s Economic Development and Skills Policy Committee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Harmony Works<\/a> project aims to transform Canada House, in Sheffield City Centre, into a space which can be used for music education, as part of the wider regeneration of the Castlegate area.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillor Martin Smith, Chair of the Sheffield City Council Economic Development and Skills Policy Committee, said: \u201cAn important part of the council is to promote and develop the cultural life of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have a range of good cultural facilities, but one thing we’re potentially short of is another good space for classical music and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’ve got some great nightclubs and rock venues, but what we’re trying to do with Harmony Works is developing it into a music hub for different styles of music.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project aims to centre children and young people\u2019s music education at the heart of the plans. <\/p>\n\n\n

The space also aims to pride itself on being sustainable, with the
zero-carbon vision featuring the building being powered by waste, and located
next to the tram stop.<\/p>\n

A new home for music education in Sheffield is to receive more than \u00a3100,000 in funding to support its completion.

We can't wait to see @harmony_works<\/a> vision to transform the historic Canada House at Castlegate come to life.
