Tickets for our next concert on 21 November are now on sale here
Join us for an exciting programme, as we combine with Halifax Minster's choir to perform Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. This is one of the most popular modern choral works - which featured in to a memorable advert for Old Spice aftershave. It is based on 24 poems from a medieval collection of secular songs "to be sung together with instruments and magical images". Our performance will be accompanied by two pianos and a large percussion section.
We will also be performing a brand new arrangement of Guy Turners' Folk Song Sequence, in the presence of the composer. The sequence comprises four songs - one from each of the nations of the British Isles.
The programme also features works by Vaughan Williams and Finzi.
This is likely to be a popular concert and early booking is advised.
