Experience the thrill of singing alongside one of the world’s most renowned musical institutions in a day of inspiring choral music.

In 2025, we will be exploring one of the most iconic and uplifting choral works in the repertoire, Haydn’s The Creation. The day will be led by the Hallé’s fun and motivating Choral Director, the exceptional Matthew Hamilton.

If you enjoy singing, and would like the opportunity to improve your singing and musicianship skills during this thrilling day, we would love to see you. Or simply come along at the end of the day to hear the performance.

 

We will be using the New Novello Edition. Scores are not provided, but we are pleased to be able to offer a heavily discounted price of £11.50, courtesy of our friends at Forsyth’s.
