York Early Music Christmas Festival

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 2022 Festival will run from Thursday 8 December until Saturday 17 December – opening with La Palatine, rising stars of the Creative Europe-funded EEEmerging+ programme. Highlights will include violinist Bojan Cicic presenting two complementary concerts celebrating the music of J.S. Bach and guest ensembles will include Spiritato! with the Marian Consort, Ensemble Moliere, the Orlando Consort, The York Waits, Yorkshire Baroque Soloists and Solomon’s Knot.
