Birthday Bash!

29th September 2011, by Mark Lawrence

We would love to see you at our 90th birthday concert in Symphony Hall.  Saturday 5th November at 7.30 pm.

We will be having a Late Bar after the concert in the Symphony Hall foyer, where you can socialise with choir members and friends and help us celebrate our birthday.

Included in your concert ticket is a fascinating free pre-concert talk involving former choir conductor Christopher Robinson, our Voice Factory associate choir, Bournville Young Singers, a message from former choir conductor Sir David Willcocks, and more about the choir and the works being performed.

Don’t wait – book tickets for yourself and your friends now!

Nearly 90 and still singing!
