Our top picks
This month we asked our Principal Music Officer, Katie Pearce, what she's most looking forward to hearing this season. Katie says:
"My top pick is Paul Schoenfield’s Café Music which Temporal Harmonies Inc will play in their concert in January. It’s such a fun piece incorporating ragtime, Viennese, gypsy, and jazz influences, with a beautiful paraphrase of a Chassidic melody in the second movement. A fantastic toe-tapping piece to end the concert with a bang!"

A poem selected by the National Poetry Library.
from Blue Moon
by Linda France
Our eyes are drawn to the blue horizon,
the shimmering dot of the evening star.
We lose ourselves in the dance
of the moon, the darkening sky, the stray cat,
the pipistrelle whispering its winging,
the slugs who slither to lick our toes.
And the whole world is indigo.
I don’t know how close you are, how far.

With thanks to Hannah of Get Lost Yorkshire:
HeyThe 5th of November is here… and you probably know what that means: bonfires, fireworks, toffee apples, and people peering into the night sky wrapped in scarves and mittens. But did you know that Bonfire Night has strong ties to Yorkshire? The infamous Guy Fawkes, the man at the centre of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot, was actually born right here in York, on Stonegate. His childhood stomping grounds stretched from the cobbled streets of the city centre to the sleepy village of Scotton, near Harrogate - and you can still trace his footsteps there today. From the Guy Fawkes Inn in York to the Guy Fawkes Arms pub in Scotton, there’s no shortage of ways to celebrate the night his name became legend… although probably not in the way he’d hoped. 😅 🔥 Whether you're planning to mark the occasion with a roaring bonfire, a dazzling fireworks display, or just a cosy pub dinner by candlelight, there are plenty of ways to celebrate here in Yorkshire. I’ve got a round up the best Bonfire Night events across the county, including displays happening tonight and throughout the weekend. 👉 Find Bonfire Night events in Yorkshire Until our next adventure, P.S. Fancy something different? The blog also includes a few ideas for pubs and places linked to Guy Fawkes himself, in case you’re planning a future trip!
