Erbarme Dich!

We welcome the overall winners of the 2024 York Early Music Young Artists Competition back to the NCEM as they prepare to record their winning CD with the Chair of Judges, Phillip Hobbs of Linn Records.

A musical journey that describes the human condition: the torment and despair for mistakes made and the acceptance of imperfection and self-forgiveness. The path of personal absolution is explored in arrangements of arias from Bach cantatas addressing the themes of sin, mercy and redemption, set alongside pieces by Locke and Biber that reflect the atmosphere of each moment of the spiritual process.

“Three outstanding performers show how well they intuitively understood and communicated this music. A real joy and, to quote Tina Turner, Simply the Best!” York Press
