Saturday, May 1st at 7.30 pm – The annual Music Award Holders and Chapel Choir charity concert.

Some tickets for early birds are available from the School Office (£8 & £5 concessions, with under accompanied 16s free, to include refreshments afterwards in the Chapter House). Thereafter the Minster Box Office will be selling tickets in advance (0844 939 0015, www.boxoffice.yorkminster.org) or at the door. Just to see the wonderful Chapter House is worth the entrance fee alone! There will be a retiring collection for York Minster Music and Calm Africa.
