New concert at Wesley Centre the finest classical venue in Harrogate

'Lost' Hollywood movie screening by Harrogate Film Society

Now in it’s 27th season and almost entirely volunteer-run, Wesley Centre's concert series continues to attract artists with international reputations to Harrogate for concerts and lunchtime recitals.

Put together by Andrew Hitchen, a music-loving volunteer, the series was dormant during Covid but resumed in June last year as lockdown restrictions started to ease.

The latest concert will take place at this stunning venue on Oxford Street in Harrogate on Monday, March 14 at 1pm.

The programme will feature Elisabeth Brauss (piano) playing Mozart, Mendelsohn, Brahms and Schumann.

Wesley Centre's building is a large Neo-Classical chapel designed and built by Lockwood & Mawson in 1862 for a prosperous Victorian Methodist community.

It is now a Grade II listed church building and a dominant landmark in the town.

The organ, made by JJ Binns of Leeds, was installed in 1912 and accompanied a large choir and choirmaster.
