Taking place on Saturday, June 28 at 7.30pm, Knaresborough Choral Society will present various pieces of music; some well-known others may be new but all celebrating this amazing world that we live in.

By complete contrast there’s also Eric Whittacre’s The Seal Lullaby.

He wrote the music in 2004 in response to a request from a major film studio.

He composed a beautiful story, classic Kipling, dark and rich – perfect for children. The tale begins with the mother seal singing softly to her young pup.

There’s also The World in Union, which is based on Gustav Holst’s very well known Planet music.

The words that the choir will sing were written in 1991 as the theme music for the Rugby Union World Cup.

It was based on the best principles of the game that teaches and inspires us, aiming to motivate us not only for sport but about the need to unite us.
