Autumn Concert at St Michael's, Flixton
06/11/2013 12:24
The Flixton concert didn’t have snow like last year ... but we did get thunder and lightning, which went very well with Reg’s stunning programme cover ‘Sunset and the Dark’ning Blue’. The title was taken from René Clausen’s Tonight Eternity Alone sung by the Chorale that evening. The...

Anonymous Donation

The Chorale occasionally get to back famous people. At Christmas, we will be singing in the Bridgewater Hall with Aled Jones MBE. It won’t be the first time some of the Chorale have sung with Aled. A Songs of Praise from Gorton Monastery comes to mind. This time it’s The Glory of Christmas concert...
Adiemus and The Armed Man
22/11/2017 16:25
We are just recovering after our second concert with Sir Karl Jenkins. A 2-hour rehearsal followed by a 2-hour concert is very wearing – not so much on the voice, but on the knees. The choir gets to sing in most of the Symphonic Adiemus and The Armed Man, so are stood up for most of it. It’s not...
A wet evening at St Paul's Withington
31/07/2023 15:30
Our 2022/23 season finale was a concert of music from around the world, sung at St Paul's Withington. The weather was best described as "unseasonal", but that only added to the atmosphere and ambiance, with lightning flashes as we sang of "the scorched earth [crying] out in vain" during Frank...
