Baroque Around the Books
Partnering with Explore York Libraries and Archives, we’re hosting free concerts in York’s community libraries - Haxby, Clifton, Tang Hall, and the Central Library - making music accessible to everyone. This wonderful initiative brings together two things we’re deeply passionate about: supporting the careers of young artists and sharing the magic of early music with a wider audience.
Our first series in March 2024 toured the young duo Flutes & Frets to three Explore libraries, then in December 2024 we took another young duo Intesa to four Explore libraries. This year, join Sam Brown lute & Daniel Thomson voice as they share the music and poetry of Shakespeare’s England in a programme titled 'Facets of Time'
Entry to these events is free with no booking required.
This is an NCEM Cultural Wellbeing Initiative in partnership with Explore York Libraries & Archives
Last year this wonderful initiative, featuring Lucine Musaelian & Nathan Giorgetti, brought together two things the NCEM is deeply passionate about: supporting the careers of young artists and sharing the magic of early music with a wider audience.




We are grateful to The Reed Foundation and donors to our Big Give Appeal for making this initiative possible - and helping us to plan for next time!
