Concert & Events Diary 2020
Covid-19 Concerts update
The announcement made by the prime minister (23/03.2020) will probably make this news almost redundant – but we wanted to contact all our Friends, audience and supporters to confirm the sad, but inevitable decision we have made to cancel our summer concert programme.
The concerts on June 6 at NCEM and on June 28 at Leyburn will now not take place. We hope however that these events are merely postponed and that we can fit them in to future seasons. For those of you who had already booked for the concert at NCEM, their box office will sort out arrangements for ticket re-funds etc. Be assured that during this enforced interregnum the Leeds Baroque management team will continue to plan the forthcoming season so there will be a wonderful programme to look forward to in 2021. The choir and instrumentalists will be dutifully practising their scales and some of the trickier corners of Messiah! We will keep you up-to-date with our plans as the situation develops, but in the meantime, keep safe and well. Best wishes, Jillian (Administrator), Bryan (Chair, Management committee) and the Leeds Baroque committee. Next Event:
