Sheffield Bach Choir has announced its coming season – and it promises to be an exciting one for choir, audiences and visiting participants.
Following the very popular and successful workshop a couple of years ago, the choir has decided to start the new season with another, this time featuring Rossini’s magnificent Petite Messe Solonnelle.
“The workshop will be in September at Wesley Hall in Crookes, which successfully hosted our previous workshop” said Chorus Chair Chris Walker, “It’s a fantastic venue for a day like this, and we hope as many people as possible sign up to join us. The workshop will be led by our super Music Director Philip Collin – and there’ll be cake!”
The workshop will be followed by a concert performance of the Petite Messe Solonnelle in St Mark’s Broomhill, with the wonderful National Festival Orchestra led by Sally Robinson.
The choir’s annual Come and Sing Messiah follows on Monday 7th December at St James’ Church Norton, a jolly affair with mince pies and mulled wine. There’s a more spectacular return to Messiah the following Monday, in the wonderfully festive setting of a sumptously decorated Cutler’s Hall, which was a sell-out last year.
March sees a return to Bach’s St John Passion at St Mark’s Church in Broomhill, as part of the Classical Sheffield Classical Weekend festival 2027, and the season ends with a joint performance of Elgar’s majestic Dream of Gerontius with Sheffield Oratorio Chorus.
Tickets will be available online by the start of the season, so keep an eye out and get the dates on your diary for a season of music delights!
