Singing – good for the heart and soul! – This is how the whole choir feels about singing, whether performing at the Royal Concert Hall with nearly 200 voices or gathering in small groups to experience the sheer joy of singing.
We started the 166th Season with the choir recommencing live rehearsals under the guidance of our Music Director, Richard Laing, and we have already welcomed some prospective members to our rehearsals. Our first event of the Season, at which we sang some of the pieces from our previously cancelled Gloria! Majestic Music for Choir and Brass, was very enjoyable.
We are excited to announce that we shall be performing an abridged Messiah at the Albert Hall on Saturday 4 December at 7pm. Tickets are £15.00 plus 50p booking fee.
Our Come & Sing event is planned for February 2022. We know that many Friends of Harmonic and other supporters look forward to this very special annual event and we will update you as soon as we have more information. The Spring Fantasia concert which was originally planned for spring 2021 will now take place on 19 March 2022 at the Albert Hall, Nottingham.
We held our first ever virtual Messiah in December 2020. Do take a look at our Gallery of Singers at the event.
