Ripon Cathedral Concert Society

The Cathedral Concert Society is once again generously supporting the Festival's Young Musician Competition  with an offer of free tickets for this year's finalists.

We are very happy to support their excellent programme, which, on Monday 13th February features the Magnard Wind Ensemble.

The Ensemble will exploit the space and rich acoustic of Ripon Cathedral to create a very different world with music spanning four centuries. They will play a series of solo pieces and ensembles for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn – a concert of veiled nachtmusik and invocations of Greek mythology – beware the god Pan. It brings together five young dynamic wind players to explore the range and beauty of their instruments in the setting of the Cathedral with music by Bach, Mozart, Debussy, Messiaen, Britten, Barber and Waley-Cohen.
