CORONAVIRUS UPDATE 17 March

With great regret, we must report that this concert is cancelled.

We were working towards this conclusion, but meanwhile the Influence Church has decided, understandably, that it is closing its doors for the foreseeable future.

We will email everyone on our mailing list, and will try to text or phone people who don't have email. 

Please stay safe during this period. We'll keep you posted on our plans for next season, and we'll hope to see you back, healthy and ready for some more top-class classical music, in the autumn. Best wishes from all of us at the Richmondshire Concerts.

We looked forward to our concert of 22 January rather nervously. After many years of Saturday-evening concerts, would the change to Wednesdays actually work?

We needn't have worried. A large audience packed the Influence Church to enjoy a sprightly concert of music from the court of Louis XIV by the Bach Players. The group's leader, Nicolette Moonen, said afterwards: "To have 273 collected to hear French baroque music was something of a triumph. You'd never get those numbers in London.” What a lovely comment.
