This year marks Skipton Camerata’s 20th anniversary – we’ve been around for a score of years! To mark the occasion, Ian McMillan is the narrator in the first performance of A Northern Score, the story of how the North of England has struggled, thrived and ultimately been defined. Through Ian’s poetry and the music of conductor Ben Crick, A Northern Score portrays the lives and deeds of 20 remarkable individuals from the middle ages to the present who have shaped and influenced the region.

Before the interval, broadcaster and bassoonist Linton Stephens chairs a discussion with Ian and Ben about the creation of A Northern Score and the people that inspired it.

Run time: approx. 1 hour 50 minutes (including an interval)
