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.

Right now, we are deep in the varied magnificence of the Swaledale Festival, with many events taking place in Richmond and across the Dales. 

It’s the second week of the festival, and there’s lots to enjoy, from Clare Teal's silken-voiced magic in Leyburn, to the world premiere in Aysgarth of new music inspired by the Dales and its rivers. Just before the premiere, composer Vivek Haria joins Festival patron Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason to discuss the new work and his creative process. 

The Festival closes with the infectious global folk collective Mishra + Deepa Shakthi.

We also celebrate local arts and artists, from a Richmond Chamber Orchestra collaboration to craftspeople rooted in the Dales.

The Golden Thread traces a rich and varied musical journey around the music of J.S. Bach, using his works as an anchor for exploration across centuries and styles.

A varied selection of movements from Bach’s sonatas, partitas, cantatas and suites is threaded throughout the concert, around which Baroque Alchemy weaves an eclectic and colourful tapestry: ancient music associated with the Cathars, mediaeval dance, early-baroque sorcery from Biber and Uccellini, Gallic fire and gypsy frenzy from Ibert and Monti, unashamed romanticism from Massenet, and contemporary contemplation from Hermann Beeftink.

The result is a constantly shifting journey that moves freely across time and style.

Full details and tickets from the Richmondshire Concerts website.

A subscription to the entire series of six concerts remains an absolute bargain at just £66.
