Beati ~ Beautiful Voices ~ Directed & Conducted by Anthony Gray
Beati is our small ensemble of 10 singers formed in 2008 to perform music written for upper voices. All singers are members of Harrogate Choral Society (HCS) and audition to join. SINGERS Fiona Young, Rachel Parker, Angela Kidman Jo Trigg, Margaret Knight, Adrienne Amos, Emma Littlewood Melissa Firth, Judith Mckenna, Sarah Sherliker
Our singers have a wide range of experience that generally began at an early age. Taking part in school, church, college or university choirs led to high quality performances within chamber choirs and amateur dramatic productions. All have gained huge confidence from performing in a wide variety of venues including: Royal Albert Hall; Festival Hall; Leeds Town Hall; Fountains Abbey, Ripon; Durham Cathedral; Ely Cathedral; Glasshouse International Centre for Music, Gateshead; Kings College Cambridge; Yankee Stadium, New York; Il Duomo, Florence; St Mark's Basilica, Venice.
DIRECTOR OF MUSIC Anthony Gray was appointed Beati’s Director of Music in September 2024. A highly accomplished organist, composer and conductor, Anthony became an organ scholar at Bradford Cathedral before reading music at Robinson College, Cambridge.
PERFORMANCES Beati perform in large and small venues and regularly appear as part of HCS concerts and at fundraising events. Performance pieces range from jazz and folksong arrangements through to classical and sacred works.
The ensemble can also be booked for private functions - please complete the form below to make enquiries.
