As part of Ryedale Festival’s famed triple concert, we present present a programme opening with the world premiere of a new piece by Sarah Frances Jenkins, inspired by the stunning pre-Raphaelite designs of Castle Howard’s chapel. A selection of works by English composers Weeles, Dowland and Byrd are juxtaposed with contemporary commentary in works by Laurence Osborn.
