The York Early Music Christmas Festival was created in 1997 to introduce audiences to the extraordinary wealth of music associated with Advent, Christmas and Epiphany, from the Medieval to the Baroque, intertwined with the sagas, stories and tales of the north.  

The 2024 Festival is scheduled to run from Friday 6th – Saturday 14th December with guest artists including Stile Antico, Ensemble Augelletti and guitarist Sean Shibe. Full details will be available in the summer. Please add your name to the mailing list to keep up to date with information and ticketing offers.
