Mulled wine and mince pies at St James’

Thursday 14 December 2023

A packed church and plenty of mince pies ensured that Sheffield Bach Choir’s annual Come and Sing Messiah fostered a suitably festive atmosphere at St James’ church Norton on Monday 11 December.

“The mulled wine was fantastic – really fruity, and there were lots of mince pies – plenty for everyone despite the packed out church” said choir Secretary Liz Buxton. “The singing was enjoyable as well of course. We decided to stick to just the choruses – which therefore came thick and fast! “

Choir President Professor George Nicholson led the proceedings, and the organ was played by the choir’s new Music Director Philip Collin.

Singalong Messiah moves to Norton

Monday 9 December 2019

This year the choir’s very popular Come and Sing Messiah moved to St James’ Church, Norton, Church Road S8 8JQ – and filled the church to capacity! The move to a new venue proved to be very successful and will probably be repeated next year.

This lively sing-along, excluding the passion-tide movements, was conducted by the choir’s President Professor George Nicholson, with Dr Simon Lindley providing full orchestral accompaniment on the organ. With mulled wine and mince pies in the interval, this was a wonderfully festive evening.
