... together with a wide selection of songs from
around the world, including Africa, Greece,
Britain, the Balkans and North America.
In 2003 and 2006 over 250 people took part and sang inspirational concerts to huge and appreciative audiences. In 2009 it’ll be over 300 amateur singers, young and old, coming together to share their passion for singing, and play their part in the most important event in Herefordshire’s musical calendar.
As one boy from a local primary school said as he came off the stage in 2006 ‘I can't believe I just did that!’
This year's event will feature the return of the acclaimed solo soprano Denise Leigh, who made such an impression in 2006, a selection of song from around the world including Africa, Greece, Britain, The Balkans and North America, and the premieres of 5 new choral pieces, especially written by Herefordshire-based composers.
