The
Heritage Masterworks Choral
After 15 successful years the Heritage singers announces an expansion in its plans, a new and completely different choir for 2009. Aimed at bringing neglected choral masterpieces back to audiences and performing these in prestigious locations, the new choir will run alongside the Heritage Singers who have provided Choral services for over 250 churches since their formation and will continue to do so.
Director Tim Knight says ‘ this new choir complements our established group and is now looking for singers, with one intensive rehearsal a month and four events each year, including a recording, the focus is on concerts and recordings as opposed to the service work the Heritage Singers maintain’
With a maximum of 24 singers the music for the first year will include masterworks by Scarlatti, Croft and Handel and venues for performances will include churches, art galleries and stately homes.
The group is aiming to start in March of 2009 and are
now inviting
singers to register their interest. Rehearsals will be held in
Headingley and the first concert is expected in late spring.
This is an exciting new project and one which will bring masterpieces
of choral music into the public arena through an annual series of
subscription events which we believe will live up to our aim of
‘the finest music in the finest venues’
