What's On

There's never a dull moment in Richmond...

There’s always something to do and somewhere to go in Richmond. With the unique Georgian Theatre Royal plus the award-winning independent cinema at The Station, drama and cinema are well taken care of, and then there’s the sparkling events programme at the Green Howards Museum, as well as Richmond Castle and the Richmondshire Museum.

The town’s many choirs and two orchestras offer up regular concerts, alongside the Richmondshire Concert Series in Spring and Autumn bringing in world-class chamber ensembles, while there’s plenty of live music at The Comrades Club and at many of the town’s great pubs. Richmond’s festivals are amazingly diverse, from the lively performance scene at MayFest to the delights of both “books and boots” at September’s Walking and Book Festival - never mind the epic Duck Race on the Swale.

Craft markets, health and wellbeing events, every kind of community group you can think of, talks, walks… you’ll always find something to enjoy.

    Philippa Mo, described as “an international sensation” (Weekender), and Albert Lau, a Steinway Artist, have both given memorable solo recitals at The Georgian Theatre Royal. They now join forces for the first time in a virtuoso and highly charged programme which includes:

    Edward Elgar - Violin Sonata in E minor, Op.82

    Ottorino Respighi - Violin Sonata in B minor

    And some delightful salon pieces of the same era.

    These sonatas are some of the very finest late Romantic chamber works. Composed during the momentous years of 1917 and 1918, they are the responses of an Englishman staying in a cottage in Sussex and an Italian in a religious retreat in Rome, to a world changed by the ravages of war.  However, alongside the undeniable frustration and desperation, both works also reflect great hope, love, and tenderness.

    This promises to be an evening of moving music performed by two international musicians in the intimate atmosphere of the Georgian with its wonderful acoustic".
