Tetra Classical Guitar Quartet
E20 | 8.00pm | St Oswald’s Church, Askrigg | U
Stephen Goss, Graham Roberts, Peter Howe and Gary Ryan: guitars
These virtuoso guitarists have delighted audiences with their
unique blend of fascinating repertoire and polished delivery. The
first half will include Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio Espagnole, an
arrangement of Kurt Weill’s Threepenny Opera and Stephen Goss’s
Gnossiennes after Erik Satie. The second half features Carmen
Fantasy - a suite inspired by Spain, including pieces by Bizet,
Granados and others. The group’s CD of this music has received
rave reviews.

E21 | 11.00am | Meet at Keld Car Park |
The Hut People

Sam Pirt: accordion • Gary Hammond: percussion
With a musical
pedigree that
takes in both The
Beautiful South
and the cream of
the British folk
scene, it's not
surprising that
The Hut People
are blazing a trail
across the world
of traditional
song. Armed only
with an accordion
and an array of
drums, cow bells,
and assorted exotic percussion instruments, The Huts take the
best of home-grown folk and mix in influences from Scandinavia
and beyond. Delightful foot-tapping music.

Community and Education
Our outreach programme aims to promote music and the arts to
young people and local communities. This year, musicians will
visit care homes and schools to give recitals and workshops.
There are also community events which have been in
preparation throughout the year. This work is greatly aided by a
number of Trusts and Foundations, and we are profoundly
grateful for their continuing commitment to such projects.
