Lunchtime Recitals

Considered by many as ‘the Wigmore Hall of the North’, for over 30 years the Wesley Centre has attracted the highest calibre international classical artists to the town. The Centre’s warm acoustic and superb Yamaha grand piano are a delight to performers and audiences alike.

Through a series of monthly lunchtime recitals and occasional evening performances, the Wesley Concerts celebrate the very best in classical music, playing a major role in the cultural life of North Yorkshire and the surrounding region.
