​Rossini - Stabat Mater & Puccini Messa di Gloria 

Two glorious choral works which are in theory Oratorios but which sound much more like Opera. Accompanied by the world famous Manchester Camerata and with four fabuous soloists this is a concert you will not want to miss.

An Opportunity to Sing!

THE HARROGATE PROMS !
For the last two years, members of the Harrogate Choral Society & Harrogate Symphony Orchestra have been working hard to organise a one off ‘event' - ‘The Harrogate Proms’.
 
The concert has been postponed until Saturday 26th June 2021 and will take place in Harrogate’s prime performing venue, the Convention Centre. It will be compered by BBC’s very own Harry Gration. The concert has been specially designed to be a wonderful evening of music for the audience whilst including some of the best of all choral music for singers. At the same time, the concert will be raising funds for The Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity and promises to be a truly spectacular event.
 
Additional singers from other choirs across the region have already signed up to create a huge choir under the banner ‘Voices for Harrogate’. Rehearsals dates for for the event will announced in early 2021, they will take place with HCS on Wednesday evenings. There will be a joint rehearsal with the HSO at King James's School at a date near to the concert.
 
The programme includes a wide variety of music including Orff’s O Fortuna, the Suite from Jenkin’s The armed Man, Grand March from Verdi’s Aida, Handel’s Zadok the Priest, Look at the World by Rutter, the Polovtsian Dances by Borodin and the usual ‘Proms’ favourites including Rule Britannia and Sea Songs.
 
To complete this large choir, we need more singers, especially tenors and basses, ideally who can read music and would be available to attend a minimum of six rehearsals.  If you are an individual or part of a choir already and would like to sing in this amazing event please get in touch with us.
