Discover how Gerald Finzi’s formative years in Harrogate shaped his life and his music for years to come…

Gerald Finzi was born in London in 1901, and moved to Harrogate with his mother after the outbreak of the First World War; In the seven years he lived in Harrogate, his experiences paved the way for the development of his unique musical voice.
