From May 9-11 York will be taken over by music of every style with The York Spring Festival of New Music.
With a bigger programme, it will include everything from pop, rock, jazz, musical theatre and classical to world music and theme of "Carnival".
Festival Director, Andrew Hume said: “This year, we're really embracing our status as one of York's incredible festivals. Our Carnival theme has allowed us to create a fantastic programme that is filled with our passion for New Music. The York Spring Festival weekend is the perfect opportunity to experience something new!”
The opening at the Sir Jack Lyon’s Concert Hall and with a varied programme of new works by young composers and the closing the concert will be a new work for electric cello, countertenor, chamber ensemble, choir and fixed media by University of York postgraduate students James Cave and Christopher Mullender.
