Beverley & East Riding Early Music Festival
Beverley & East Riding
Early Music Festival
The Beverley & East Riding Early Music Festival was initiated by the local authority in 1988 - highlighting through early music the extraordinary wealth of medieval musical traditions of the town. Now in its 38th year, the festival is recognised as a ‘jewel in the crown’ of the musical calendar - drawing in visitors and residents alike to hear internationally acclaimed musicians and taking the opportunity to seek out new talent, to take part, and to enjoy the very particular mix of music and place.
