At the opening of this year's festival on August 12th, tickets will be released for the concert on November 10th to launch next year's festival.  The Oculi Ensemble will be joined by cellist Jamie Walton in a programme to include sextets by Strauss and Brahms as well as Mozart's beautiful string quintet No.3 in St Peter & St Paul, Pickering. Tickets available here!

We are delighted to confirm William Sitwell and Zeb Soanes as narrators for Walton's Façade in our finale this year on August 25th.  William is the great-nephew of Dame Edith Sitwell, whose poetry inspired William Walton to write Façade  - and he is also to give a talk about his family, which gives the concert a particularly personal touch.

We are thrilled to have been shortlisted for a Welcome to Yorkshire White Rose Award again this year in the Arts & Culture category (Finalists)   -  results are announced on November 12th so we have ample opportunity between now and then to prove our worth!

Although tickets are yet to be released, we have three extra events this winter and tickets will be available as from August during the festival and then after.   So, these are for the diary!

Thank you to all those who braved to snow to create such an impressive audience for Trio Ayriel on March 3rd - just goes to show how important music is to people's lives and why we must continue to deliver more!

Thank you to the Oculi Ensemble who returned, performing Haydn, Beethoven and Mendelssohn to another full house.  Touching to know that winter nights and venues in the heart of the moors don't hamper enthusiasm for concert goers! t

On November 4th at 7pm we unveiled the 2018 tenth anniversary Festival programme and released tickets - this took place at the glorious St Peter & St Paul church, Pickering to a full house despite the freezing outside temperatures! The Oculi Ensemble was joined by cellist Jamie Walton in a programme which included Mozart's String Quintet No.4 in G minor, Webern Langsamer Satz and Brahms String Sextet No.2 in G major. £500 off to Yorkshire Air Ambulance - from selling Alice O'Neill's ice-creams at the festival intervals.
