NEWS: 19 May 2022
Thanks to all who supported the Spring Concert by Royal Northern Sinfonia conducted by Janusz Piotrowicz. A packed Ripon Cathedral heard an astounding performance from the virtuoso musicians of Mendelssohn, Mozart and Beethoven’s monumental ‘Eroica’ – a marvellous start to the festival’s 24th year!
The retiring collection raised £1,935 for victims of the Ukraine invasion.
