The Early Music Shop is delighted to present a concert at Salts Mill by Leeds Baroque on Sunday June 20th at 4.00pm.  Leeds Baroque is a period instrument performance group based in West Yorkshire. It is directed by Peter Holman (Professor of Historical Musicology in the University of Leeds), who is renowned as Director of the Parley of Instruments and Opera Restor’d.

Members are drawn from professional and non-professional players with students from the region’s music colleges. Free workshops given by leaders in the field of baroque performance practice provide training, and the funds available are used to enable members of the orchestra to perform concerts with internationally renowned soloists.

Over the last two seasons Leeds Baroque performed at the University of Leeds, the National Centre for Early Music, York, the Georgian Theatre, Richmond, the Swaledale Festival and the Hexham Festival.
