The Ebor Singers

Scroll to explore

The Ebor Singers, an Associate Choir of York Minster, offer an evening of music from the Siege of York in 1644. The choir will trace the course of the Civil War with music from the court of Charles I and songs performed in York Minster during the Siege as a place of sanctuary.

Based around the ‘York’ psalms of William Lawes, this fascinating programme of music composed around a time of huge political, social and religious upheaval, includes work by William Byrd, Thomas Tomkins, and John Hutchinson.

‘This is a thoughtfully compiled programme of little-known but interesting repertoire, some of which has specific York connections […] The choir sing with unanimity and a good blend’

Early Music Review

‘[…] a very imaginative production […] a fascinating historical document as well as a wonderful listening experience’
