The Beverley and East Riding Early Music Festival remains one of the cultural landmarks of the East Riding of Yorkshire, utilizing the remarkable ecclesiastical architecture of the region to present an annual festival embracing some of the world's finest early music specialists.

In 2012 we will be celebrating our 25th anniversary year with guest artists including vocalists Stile Antico presenting a new programme from music of the Renaissance entitled 'The Rose in Flower'; the award-winning instrumental ensemble La Serenissima in a stunningly played Vivaldi programme; lutenist William Carter (previously of the Palladian Ensemble) playing Bach, and winners of the Friends prize for the 2009 York Early Music International Young Artists Competition, medieval vocal ensemble Grand Desir making their Festival debut.
