NORTH YORK MOORS CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL
9 - 22 August 2020
Now entering its 12th year, the next festival will celebrate Beethoven (the ‘revolutionary’) and beyond, as we enter the great composer’s 250th anniversary. Living through the French Revolution undoubtedly had a profound effect on many artists and as we explore Beethoven’s life and influences (both received and passed on), we delve into the 1848 German Revolution and Russian Revolution, the Revolution of the Great Wars - and indeed the Industrial Revolution.
The North York Moors Chamber Music Festival celebrates great music through friendship, sharing, the landscape, history and architecture - taking audiences on a journey throughout the North York Moors National Park, stirring the musical spirit within us all. Over 30 musicians, 2 weeks, 10 churches, around 40 chamber works all create a friendly and passionate environment within one of this country's most spectacular regions. As we don’t make a habit of advertising, please do join our emailing list for updates and news of extra concerts outside of the festival throughout the year.
The festival takes you on a tour through and much of the National Park and along the spectacular Jurassic coastline. We are incredibly fortunate to have these extraordinary historic buildings, some which date back to the Anglo-Saxons. In a sense the concert begins the moment you set out to travel over the moors to your destination - the landscape is very much part of the artistic experience.
Everyone is welcome - music is for all!
