Concerts since March 2013 |
|
Our aim is to perform at least three concerts each year - A Spring concert performed normally on Good Friday at the Leas Cliff Hall, a Summer concert performed late June and an Autumn concert performed late November or early in December. Our programmes range from the great oratorios to more modern composers and within a number of years we aim to cover all the great choral masterpieces from the 17th to the 21st century. We perform accompanied by a professional orchestra and soloists. Some concerts also include popular concertos and orchestral pieces to complement the choral works.
Our concert venues are typically the Leas Cliff Hall, Holy Trinity Church, St. Leonard`s Church and the Saga Pavilion.
