Welcome!
Welcome to the fifth North York Moors Chamber Music Festival A Time There Was, celebrating the centenary of Benjamin Britten, his influences and contemporaries. Enjoy the website and do spread the word if you can. The festival’s popularity is, I believe, due to its authentic passion and focus on the purity of music within a beautiful environment. The audiences are its purpose and foundation.
Do please join the emailing list () to be kept up to date with news. We had record audiences this year and it gives us musicians tremendous pleasure to be performing for such large numbers of you. Thank you.
