Please join us for a summer evening of choral music and celebration in the beautiful setting of St Wilfrid’s Church.

As we continue our 50^th anniversary year of musical celebrations we are thrilled to invite you to join us for our choral concert ‘Viva la Musica’ and afterwards to a buffet reception where there will be a chance to meet and celebrate with past and present Musical Directors and choir members.

The one hour programme which is also Alex Kyle’s final concert with Vocalis contains beautiful music by Gerald Finzi, Clara Schumann and Eric Whitacre including pieces for choir and percussion. We will also be performing the world premiere of ‘When music sounds’ commissioned by Vocalis for this event and composed by Anthony Gray, local musician and Musical Director and organist at St Wilfrid’s Church. Vocalis will be accompanied by Tim Harper on the piano and organ and Taneli Clarke will lead the percussion team.

In addition we are encouraging former choir members to join us on stage for an exciting joint performance of Parry’s ‘I was Glad’! If you are a former member and haven't already received an invite for this, do please get in touch!

We would ask audience members to buy tickets online for this event by 15th June to help with our catering. Simply click 'Buy Tickets' (higher up on this page) and follow the link - thank you.
