Welcome to Harrogate Choral Society
Harrogate
Choral Society
(HCS) is a
long-established, friendly, mixed-voice choir of around 150 singers,
based in the Spa town of Harrogate. In May 1948 the choir sang
Mendelssohn's
Elijah
to celebrate the formation
of the Society. Our aim is always to be the finest choir in the area and, under the leadership of our
Music Director, Dr
Andrew Padmore, we are encouraged and pushed to the highest standards of musical excellence.
We sing, on
average, four concerts per
season, performed mainly in the
magnificent setting of The Royal Hall, Harrogate. We work with a number of
notable orchestras including Manchester
Camerata.
Beethoven Missa Solemnis
11 June 2016
'The attention to the dynamic shaping was impressive with such large forces,
maintaining a buoyant tone quality and with the changes in pace mostly
secure with clear direction from the conductor...A fine
evening of excellent music making. Congratulations to all'.
