Save the date for 2027! - August 14 - 28 . .
Thank you all for making this year’s festival the most joyous and successful yet on our journey. It has been an incredible fortnight, full of inspiration and momentum as we look towards the next festival.
We’ll be announcing our launch concert in December very soon, when we’ll also unveil the theme for next year. . .
Meanwhile, welcome to the North York Moors Chamber Music Festival . . . .
Our festival celebrates the art of collaboration in an awe-inspiring setting, taking our audience on a musical quest each year through interwoven themes within a central storyline.
For over 18 years, we have built a reputation for breaking down barriers to make exceptional music accessible to all, fostering community and cultural connection through friendship and trust. Uncompromising even amid pandemic challenges, our festival was one of the few to present full, live performances in 2020 and 2021.
August, when the heather is in full bloom, brings the North York Moors to life. Artists are immersed in the National Park, rehearsing and living in a deeply holistic environment, while audiences are welcome to enjoy picnics on the grounds of Welburn Manor, attend concerts, and explore the region’s historic churches and priories.
If you are interested in supporting our festival—whether by sponsoring a concert or an artist—your contribution would help us continue curating this extraordinary festival with the passion and individuality that defines us.
Please feel free to join our mailing list to receive news and updates.
Featuring over 30 international musicians, two weeks of concerts, and around 50 chamber works, all within a welcoming and inclusive setting, we invite you to explore one of the country's most breathtaking regions and leave feeling inspired...
”The whole atmosphere is so simply delightful: it all feels like being a member of one large musical family. Recognising before each concert so many familiar yet not-seen-for-a whole-year faces is a great pleasure: as people arrived and parked up, it was like a host of migrating birds all returning home!” Audience member
