ENCOUNTERS
The York Early Music Festival was established in 1977 and is designed to celebrate York’s myriad medieval churches, guildhalls and historic houses through historically informed music making of the highest international standard. The Festival is the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the NCEM’s annual programme and enjoyed by visitors from across the world.
Our festival theme this year is one of encounters – most vitally between audience and artists. Whilst our enjoyment of real life encounters continues to be restricted, we are delighted to be sharing with you our second York Early Music Festival Online.
Guest artists include the internationally acclaimed violinist Rachel Podger, lutenist Jacob Heringman, bass Matthew Brook working with Peter Seymour, the Monteverdi String Band led by Oliver Webber, the Society of Strange & Ancient Instruments with their weird and wonderful Trumpet Marine project and the ever entertaining The Gesualdo Six.
Viewing our online festivals is simple – please read our step-by-step guide to understand the process. All concerts will be available to buy until Friday 6th August and available to watch on demand until 5pm Friday 13th August 2021.
