Choral Society’s Seasonal Celebration and Hallelujah Chorus
Posted by sop2 on 12/11/2009
The 120-member Shrewsbury’s Choral Society will be presenting a traditional, fun-filled concert to celebrate Advent and Christmas at St.Chad’s Church, Shrewsbury at 7.30pm on Saturday 19th December 2009.
The programme of popular classics is being presented under the title of Seasonal Music and Readings for Advent and Christmas. Choral Society members will be joined by brass and organ accompaniment, under the baton of Martin Schellenberg.
Martin Schellenberg said, “I welcome people to come and sing, listen to some popular and fine music and enjoy the real spirit of Christmas. We will also be including an opportunity for all to sing the Hallelujah Chorus as part of the BBC “Come and Sing” run by Gareth Malone. Our audience will be able to join the Choir in singing this splendid and well-loved piece of music. This year we have reduced ticket prices for Senior Citizens and children as a Special Christmas Present from the Choral Society. Our Seasonal Celebration, held in the beautiful ambience of St. Chad’s Georgian Architecture with its special atmosphere will provide the ingredients for a perfect celebration of Christmas Music at its best. The concert promises to be a superb evening of entertainment by some accomplished singers and musicians.”
Tickets (£10 unreserved; £8 for Senior Citizens and Students and £2 children) may be purchased online or from Shrewsbury Choral Society members, or from Art Framing, Mardol, Shrewsbury.
