Our April concert is called 'God's Own Country' and is a celebration of all things Yorkshire.

We will be featuring composers or librettists who hail from this wonderful county, or music that has  strong associations with the places and people who live here.  Nicola LeFanu and David McGregor have been commissioned to write two new pieces for the concert: Nicola having a long association with the city of York and its university as a former Professor of Music, and David McGregor, who studied at York, is composing a piece around the tune of 'Scarborough Fair'.

Andrew Carter spent decades living and working in and around the York music scene. He was the founder of our choir, and is well known for his choral compositions worldwide. He died in January 2026, and we will take time in our Yorkshire themed concert to celebrate and give thanks for his enormous contribution to the musical life of the county, and our choir as founder, musical director and then Vice President.

Tickets will be on sale on the York Minster website shortly.

Patrons of the Chapter House Choir will be invited to attend a pre-concert talk. You will have the chance to meet Nicola LeFanu and David McGregor, and hear more about Andrew's work and his longstanding connection to the choir.  To find out more about our patrons and how to become one, visit this page of our website
