The National Centre for Early Music
The National Centre for Early Music is an educational resource located in York, England. It is based in the converted and extended medieval church of St Margaret, Walmgate.
The Centre was opened in April 2000. It was created, with the aid of a grant from the National Lottery and partnership money from organisations such as English Heritage, by the York Early Music Foundation. It houses the offices of the Foundation and those of the annual York Early Music Festival, and, during the Festival, it hosts concerts and talks.
During the rest of the year, the Foundation promotes an educational programme based at the National Centre: events include seminars, workshops and master classes.
The buildings of the Centre include a performance space (in the former church) and facilities for conferences and other events and recordings. Historic keyboard instruments are available for hire.
