The Harrogate International Sunday Series has announced its line up for next year.


Hosted by Harrogate International Festivals and staged in the Old Swan Hotel, the Sunday Series “coffee concerts” were an annual fixture on Harrogate’s classical music calendar before covid.


Now it is back with a programme that includes the return of a festival young musician alumnus.


The 2023 series opens on Sunday, January 29, 2023, with the current director of music at the Yehudi Menuhin School, Ashley Wass.


The internationally-renowned pianist won the London International Piano Competition in 1997, and was a prize winner at the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2000.

February features Trio Balthazar, a new chamber group, committed to imaginative, diverse programming.


Since their launch this year at Wigmore Hall, the group has appeared at the City Music Foundation’s Wigmore Hall Gala, the Rye Festival and Petworth Festival.


At the Sunday Series, the Trio present a programme where central masterpieces sit alongside diverse repertoire.


Also in February pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason will be making her Harrogate debut.


Jeneba will perform a work for solo piano by Price, Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in D major, and an exclusive performance for the Sunday Series.

In March there is a performance by Japanese violinist, Coco Tomita, who first gained recognition after winning the BBC Young Musician 2020 strings category.


She will be accompanied by pianist Simon Callaghan, who performs internationally as a soloist and chamber musician.


Their programme will include music from Coco’s debut album, Origins, plus works by Ravel and Beethoven.


Sharon Canavar, Harrogate International Festivals chief executive, said:



“At the heart of the 2023 programme is the idea that innovation goes hand-in-hand with tradition.
“For our latest programme we are joined by a previous Young Musicians, have two of the fastest rising stars in the business making their Harrogate debut – plus it features a brand new ensemble project.
“A key aim of ours is to introduce classical music to new audiences, and I believe the line-up we are bringing to the 2023 Harrogate International Sunday Series will help achieve that."
