AWARD-winning musician Guy Johnston will launch a new season of Sunday concerts next month.
The cellist, winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year 2000 title, will be performing the first of this year's Harrogate International Festival's Sunday Series, on February 3.
A fast-rising star of the music world, Guy's profile was raised last year with an opening night Proms debut, and a nomination for young British classical performer at the Classical Brit Awards.
He has performed with some of the country's leading orchestras and is studying at the Eastman School of Music, in Rochester, New York.
Festival director William Culver-Dodds said: "This demonstrates the festival's commitment to presenting to the people of Yorkshire outstanding musicians with international reputations."
The Sunday Series programme of morning concerts is being hosted by the Old Swan Hotel throughout next month, March and April.
Bookings can be made by contacting (01423) 537230 or by visiting the website www.harrogate-festival. org.uk
