The performance will take place at 7.30pm in the splendid acoustics of St Mary’s Church, Wirksworth, on Saturday 14 December, led by musical director Lester Simpson. Donations from proceeds will yet again be made to support local charities so a full house is always appreciated...
The audience will be treated to a programme encompassing a wide variety of styles, eras and origins, with glorious harmonies and a mix of popular and rarer pieces, together with narration and stories, to inform and entertain. .. Full details on the website. Tickets £10 from Marsden’s in the Marketplace and online from TicketSource.
Singers will close their musical year by once again joining the lovely Nightingales, the residents’ choir at Waltham House in Wirksworth, to celebrate the season by singing some well-loved carols together in harmony, always a joy… and RYV will then carry on to party elsewhere for a private singsong (with the tradition of party pieces thrown in for good measure) before breaking up for the holidays! RYV knows how to have fun….
The choir has recently moved venue for the Thursday evening sessions, still meeting up from 7-9pm but now at Wellspring on the corner of St John Street and Wood Street. It is warm, welcoming and spacious with room for more singers to join this well stablished community choir, formed over ten years ago, by Lester Simpson, purely for the joy of singing. Full details of the choir and how to join are on the RYV website – no auditions, no hidden costs - weekly £4 subs on a 'pay as you go' basis, and whether experienced, novice or power shower singers, all are welcome to give it a go!
