Dear Harmonic Supporters

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.

Under the guidance of our Music Director, Richard Laing, the Choir is now enjoying its 167th Season. We have already welcomed several new members to the Choir since September. We were delighted to return to the Royal Concert Hall for our Messiah concert and the Family Carol Concert during December. Looking ahead to 2023, we are holding our Come and Sing event on 25 February and the booking details are below. On 25 March we will be performing at the Albert Hall in Nottingham for our Spring Fantasia concert and we shall return to Southwell Minster on 20 May – full details below.

We very much look forward to seeing you all during the second half of our Season.
