* York Chamber Music Festival

Founded in 2013 by cellist Tim Lowe who 'had an idea to add to the cultural vitality of the city a long-weekend feast of chamber music. His wish was to give back to his home city a festival focussing on the core chamber music repertoire bringing his mainly London-based friends and professional colleagues to York. The idea was that everyone, players and audiences, should have a happy, inspiring few days to refresh the soul in a way that perhaps only deep listening to chamber music can, with its intimate but compelling music'. Held Mid September.
