An Evening with Beati
Friday 27 September 2024 at 7.30pm in Darley Memorial Hall
Beati is a small choir of 10 female voices performing choral classics across a range of genres - from the most serious sacred works, through to jazz numbers and folksong arrangements.
The concert will be particularly special as the choir will sing in memory of their former member Katy Penn, who died suddenly earlier this year.
Anthony Gray is Beati’s Director of Music. He has been working with the 10 sopranos and altos since September 2023 and is impressed by the quality of sound created by the choir. He says: "I have hugely enjoyed working with this very musically adept group. September’s concert is absolutely going to offer a smorgasbord of delights.”

Magnificat and More
Saturday 23 November 2024 at 3pm in St Wilfrids Church, Harrogate
A concert featuring two works by Taylor Scott Davis, an up and coming American composer. In How can I keep from Singing he frames a tune by Robert Lowry and moulds into a dialogue between the voice parts and the accompaniment. His Magnificat was premiered by VOCES8 and is a beautiful setting of the story of Mary from youth to being God’s chosen one.
Between these are two contrasting versions of Panis Angelicus, one well known and the other becoming so. The final work in the concert is Requiem by Matthew Coleridge which is becoming one one of the UK’s most popular new choral works, and was one of the highest new entries in the Classic FM Hall of Fame 2023. Described by the late Sir Neville Marriner as “a valuable addition to 21st century choral repertoire”, this deeply moving work and its beautiful, flowing melodies have made it a firm favourite with singers and audiences alike.
