The Fisher Singers will take on 'one of the greatest works in the classical canon' in Harrogate
A true community choir in Harrogate formed originally as a school choir is to perform one of the greatest works in the classical canon this weekend.
The Fisher Singers, formerly St John Fisher High School Community Choir, was formed in 2003 and still maintains its links with the school as a member of the Fisher Arts programme.
This Saturday, March 28 at 7.30pm will see it perform Mozart’s Requiem in St Wilfrid’s Church in Harrogate.
The evening will begin with Mozart’s Coronation Mass, a shorter, less well-known work and the second half of the concert will feature the sublime music of the Requiem.
The choir and orchestra will be conducted by John Longstaff, and the soloists are Jennifer Clark (soprano), Joanna Gamble (mezzo), James Micklethwaite (tenor) and Patrick Osborne (bass).
Refreshments will be on sale during the interval.
Tickets are available by calling 07958665410 and will also be on sale on the door.
The Fisher Singers welcome enthusiastic singers of all ages.
There are no auditions and members do not need any previous singing experience.
All that is required is a desire to sing and explore new music.
It boasts a major concert programme in a wide range of styles from popular songs from shows to classical pieces.
In addition, it also performs a summer concert of lighter music and is involved in Christmas events, charity events and weddings.
The choir rehearses on Monday evenings in term time at St John Fisher Catholic High School in Harrogate.
