THE 12th century St Michael’s and All Angels' Church, Linton, will hold two concerts later this month.

It will welcome The Hermitage Ensemble, a Russian Orthodox choir from St Petersburg, next Thursday, April 14, at 7.30pm and Libricini, a chamber choir of female voices from Norwich, next Sunday, April 17, at 4pm.

The Hermitage Ensemble will perform Russian sacred hymns and folk songs as part its goal to maintain the Russian traditions of church music and folk music.

Tickets cost £10 and are available from The Wine Shop, Grassington, or call 01756 752468.

Libricini's concert - called The Look and The Kiss - will include music by Holst, Gjeilo, Rutter, Schumann, and Villa-Lobos.

Admission is free, but donations will be taken for local youth club Project Reverb.
