Minster Minstrels The Minster Minstrels is NCEM’s youth early music ensemble for school-age musicians – playing any instrument - run in partnership with York Music Centre. Directed by Nina Kumin, the ensemble learns how to interpret the wide variety of music from the Baroque with authentic character and style in a safe space and members have, across the years, built some extraordinarily supportive friendships which have lasted long after they have finished their schooling. The group enjoy opportunities to work with professional groups spending time in York, to explore instruments and repertory from earlier periods, and performance opportunities throughout the year – at the York Early Music Festival and within York Music Hub annual programme..
