Gothic Moth - Tragedy To Triumph
Saturday 8 February 2025
Venue: York Cemetery Chapel
Gothic Moth - Melancholy to Euphoria was a resounding success, debuting at York Cemetery Chapel in September, to a large and enthusiastic crowd. Our second concert will follow a similar format - candlelit and seated, and taking place in York Cemetery Chapel, and with a programme of performers and singers spanning the worlds of Gothic, Classical, Dark folk, and Opera. There will be some familiar faces, and also some new additions and special guests - and the repertoire will be entirely new.
We hope those who attended our first show will return and enjoy the second. And for those who missed out - come and see what all the fuss is about!
Come flutter and flap those dark wings....
"And in this moment, it becomes crystal clear that this is going to be an event like no other. To describe it as an evening of culture would be to downplay all of the other music events and spoken word nights and more on offer, but when it comes to high culture, there’s most certainly a gap – but the greatest gap is in events which bridge the divide between your regular gig and a night at the theatre or the opera or a night at the proms. This, however, is a superbly curated event which achieves precisely that."
