Past events

YorkConcerts

University Symphony Orchestra

Final-year student Anna Lezdkan performs Sibelius’ highly virtuosic Violin Concerto in a concert that also includes the Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner’s groundbreaking opera Tristan und Isolde and Strauss' Festival Prelude.

JS Bach – St Matthew Passion

Bach's most extended passion setting is one of the greatest compositions of all time. It contrasts the vivid, harrowing drama of the story of Jesus’ death on the cross with some of the most exquisitely poetic and redemptive music ever written.

Leon McCawley

Renowned British pianist Leon McCawley – whose last recital here in York was described by Charles Hutchinson, formerly Arts Editor of York Press, as ‘a performance never to be forgotten’ – presents works by Beethoven, Chopin and Scarlatti.

JS Bach – Mass in B Minor

In a thrilling new collaboration between The 24, Manchester Baroque and soloists from I Fagiolini, come and experience Bach's enigmatic mass – not seemingly written for a specific occasion, but one of the truly great works of Baroque music.

Student Showcase

Students from the University’s master’s course in Music, Management and Marketing take over the Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall to produce our annual showcase, highlighting the breadth of musical talent here at York.
