The Project 48 tour begins with a week of lunchtime Bach in the stunning medieval surroundings of St Mary’s Church in Beverley, described by Nikolaus Pevsner as ‘one of the most beautiful parish churches of England’. The perfect way to pause and reflect after a year of stress and isolation. Drop in for one session, or make a daily pilgrimage and attend all five.
