New facilities for Sheffield’s music institutions

Sheffield Music Academy and Sheffield Music Hub currently operate from borrowed facilities. Harmony Works wants to provide them with a fit for purpose home.

Harmony Works plans to buy the Grade II listed Canada House. The aim is to repurpose it as a location for the two music institutions.
