For 12 weeks during the summer of 1644, Royalist York was surrounded by the armies of Scotland and Parliament. We explore music that was performed in York Minster during the Siege, and other works from the Civil War. The concert marks the launch of our exciting new CD, Music for Troubled Times, to be launched on Resonus.
PRE-ORDER MUSIC FOR TROUBLED TIMES
Our forthcoming CD maybe pre-ordered here, either for collection at the concert or posted after the concert.
