Christmas Highlights at Kirklees Town Halls
HUDDERSFIELD CHORAL SOCIETYCHRISTMAS CONCERT
Thursday 10th and Friday 11th December 7.30pm
@ Huddersfield Town Hall
Ticket prices range from £8 to £28.
Extra tickets have been released for these two festive concerts featuring Brian Kay who returns as conductor and presenter, Hepworth Band and the Australian soprano soloist Martene Grimson.
There’s a good mix of well-loved favourites and some new pieces - notably two lovely items by John Rutter: ‘Esta noche’ (This night), a traditional Spanish carol - sung in Spanish - and his own ‘I wish you Christmas’.
The Hepworth band are new guests for The Choral, and they’re bringing a fresh selection of seasonal tunes - including some more John Rutter arrangements just for the band. Darius Battiwalla is at the organ and piano.
Martene Grimson is singing some items with the choir - including Harold Darke’s beautiful setting of ‘In the bleak midwinter’ - and her own solo contributions include ‘The Holy City’ and ‘The Star of Bethlehem’, both by Stephen Adams, and two well-known Handel arias.
