Summer Concert
Fed up with the wet Spring and lack of sunshine! Let’s hope our May concert will brighten everything up! The choir will sing a selection of short pieces ranging from negro spirituals, pieces by Haydn and Mendelssohn and a Sound of Music Medley. Afternoon tea and cake will be served after the performance.
St Ninian's Church is fully accessible and there is parking on street or in the car park opposite.

Dvořák Mass in D and Choral Classics
Dvořák’s Mass in D plus some favourite classics including the Hallelujah Chorus, Panis Angelicus, Ave Verum Corpus, accompanied by the Hull Minster organ.
Celebration and Commemoration
Our next concert in Hull Minster showcases two modern pieces, Magnificat by familiar composer John Rutter and Requiem by Christopher Wood, who will not be so familiar to most.
Both works have a joyful and uplifting quality, something that is much needed in the present climate. Our performance will help to celebrate and remember lives, of those we have lost, those still with us and those still to be born.

Scheduled for Armistice Day, and just a few days before Remembrance Sunday, and in the imposing and spacious surroundings of Hull Minster, we will be thinking not just of those who died in wars, but of all those we have lost around the world to Covid 19.
We began rehearsals on Wednesday 8th September at St Mary’s college, Cranbrook Avenue, Hull
Tickets: Under 16s: £1, Students and Jobseekers: £5, Adults: £10
