Over the next two days, we are delighted to welcome you to a series of informal recitals presented by the ensembles taking part in the Competition on Saturday 11 July. To help them settle in, and to ensure that you get to know them in advance of the judges, these two days will be introduced by keyboard specialist and friend to the Festival, Steven Devine.

The York Competition is recognised as a major international platform for emerging talent in the world of early music. It attracts musicians from across the world, offering a major boost to young professional careers with opportunities for performance, recording, broadcasting and international exposure.

Taking us on a journey from the Renaissance through the Classical, ensembles joining us this year are: Lyons Mouth, Lagrime, Il Parrasio, Quarterino, Tra Noi, La Mandorle, I Mastricelli, Nari Baroque and Ossian’s Dream. The order in which ensembles appear will be detailed on the festival website.
