Music in 2019
In December 2019 the York Mystery Plays Supporters Trust created a "new tradition" by producing the Nativity for York. For more photos and the cast list see this page. It was directed by Philip Parr, who also arranged the music, and produced by Simon Tompsett in the medieval church of St Michael in Spurriergate. Top - Lily Geering (trumpet), Nick Jones (flute) and Val Punt (handbells).
Among the volunteers were photographers Nick Ansell and John Saunders. This photograph at rehearsal shows the cast singing Nunc Dimittis at the end. Music was throught the production: the Angels were also Musicians.
