Allegri Singers preparing to ‘wow’ you in 2025
Winter might seem a long way off, but Allegri Singers are already making plans for the first of their major concerts of the year, early in July. This will be a mixed programme, with a slightly wintry feeling, and will feature some very talented vocal and instrumental soloists. With plenty of new material to master, and one or two old favourites to refresh, the ensemble will be busy in the coming weeks and months.
November will see choir and orchestra performing Handel’s masterpiece, ‘Messiah’. This is a marvellous and popular piece, which despite numerous requests for an annual performance, the choir has resolved to perform only every two or three years, in order to retain its freshness, and to give the ensemble the opportunity to present other major works, such as Karl Jenkins’ ‘The Armed Man’, and Mendelssohn’s ‘Elijah’, which require large resources and budgets.
The aim of any artistic production is to present a performance, or artwork, that will not only delight audiences, but at its best, will engage them on several levels: sight, sound, emotion, empathy.
But the finished product is only part of the story. In the case of musical, and choral performances in particular, it’s the process that is such a satisfying element of the enterprise.
Take a choir of 30 or 40 voices, add an accompanying instrument, and a gifted musical director to pull it all together, and you have the ingredients for a whole lot of fun. Throw in an orchestra, and maybe a couple of brilliant soloists … and wow! Or double the numbers, and cause a sensation!
These are experiences regularly enjoyed by members of the Allegri Singers, under the musical direction of the wonderful William Moxey.
Allegri Singers are always looking for new members – it’s a community choir – no auditions required – only a love of music, and the ability to sing in tune. If you would like to take part in these great adventures, contact us via our website contact form, or drop in to a rehearsal for a taste test!
The choir meets for rehearsal each Tuesday evening of school term times 6.30pm to 8.30pm at the Walshaw Hall, next to All Saints’ Cathedral.
