An Evening with Henry Purcell and the Harleston Choral Society
The Meeting of Dido and Aeneas by Sir Nathaniel Dance-Holland 1766
HCS’s Summer Concert was a huge success and our thanks go to our soloists, the Dargason Ensemble and the visiting choir singers, who helped to make the evening such a memorable occasion. HCS is now on its summer break – we return for the Autumn Term on Monday 9 September, at 7.00 pm (for collection of subs), to take up our scores for our Christmas Concert on 14 December. We’ll be singing works by Vaughan Williams and Bob Chilcott, plus some carols for the audience and some for HCS on our own.
We’re a friendly, non-audition choir and we welcome all singers and would-be singers. Choir practices are on Monday evenings at 7.30 pm in The Church at London Road, Harleston. Subs are £40.00 per term (some concessions are available) and music is provided free. So come and join us! Further information in the various sections of the website, or from Jo Curry jo.curry@sky.com
