Hard at Work for our Next Concert

Posted February 10, 2025

The choral society is presently hard at work preparing for its next major show-piece concert.  Sir John Rutter (who was knighted in the King’s birthday honours list) will be the featured composer and the choir will perform his Requiem and Magnificat which were both written in the late twentieth century.

One of the joys of being a member of the choral society is that each week we are able to sing beautiful pieces of choral music.  Learning this music individually and then singing together in four-part harmony requires hard work, but provides more than a little fun and gives enormous satisfaction.  Being led through this process by our wonderfully talented Director of Music, Steve Cowperthwaite, is a real privilege.

 As one of our members recently said, “the wonderful thing about a choir is that only through working together do we succeed”.  We each make our individual contribution but it is only by teamwork and joining together in absolute harmony do we produce the awe-inspiring final product.  We are well down the path of achieving this for our forthcoming concert on 5 April 2025.
