Update, 4th October: The Ian Pace concert on 5th October has been cancelled, due to illness.  We are looking forward to our friends Late Music York’s winter 2024 series of concerts, which begins this weekend.  Late Music York write: 'We can’t wait to welcome you back for our 2024 season. We start with a mini festival for the piano, with amazing programmes from David Hammond, Kate Ledger, Ian Pace and Jelena Makarova. Following this is the return of Amabile, exploring all corners of the Clarinet Trio repertoire, before we finish with the sound of song from both the Micklegate Singers and Art Sung. So mark up your diaries - we hope to see you in October!'

Morea is a winning work of the Ministry of Culture of Albania's 2022 National Competition.  Coincidentally, Rafał Janiak was the conductor of the world premiere of Simaku’s Concerto for Orchestra – winning work of Lutosławski International Competition in 2013 – in the final concert of the 2013 Warsaw Autumn festival with Warsaw Philharmonic.
