On Sunday 17th March 2024 at 4pm the choir will be giving an afternoon concert in The Priory Church, Bolton Abbey

Cantores salicium is a chamber choir based in the Yorkshire Dales. From its modest start in 2007 when a group of people sang unaccompanied choral works around the kitchen table, the choir has developed into an established group of twenty members.

Based in Long Preston, but drawing on singers from the surrounding area, we give at least two concerts each year in the Craven area of the Yorkshire Dales, a Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols each Christmas, and a special service of music and readings for Lent in the beautiful Priory Church at Bolton Abbey.
