York Chamber Music Festival York Chamber Music Festival celebrates the return of live chamber music by bringing to the city a stellar cast of musicians! Tim Lowe

Welcome to York Chamber Music Festival! The festival aims to bring some of the UK’s best chamber musicians to York with the specific aim of involving York’s young musicians and giving them an opportunity not only to hear these players but to talk and work with them in masterclasses. As part of the festival a national competition will bring aspiring chamber music groups to York from the national co

nservatoires, music colleges and university music departments. All these events are open for everyone to enjoy. The cost of entrance has been kept down thanks to generous donations from local sponsors keen to see York’s young people engage with ‘new generation’ chamber musicians. We are basing our programme around core repertoire but have included some lesser known works because, whether young or older, we want to stimulate peoples’ curiosity and imagination. I do hope you will support this new initiative in the musical life of York and enjoy what we have to offer.

Both were young composers of genius but struggling to put a form and technique to the music that they both intuitively knew lay within their deep mind, as yet untapped... Read More
