Join the Whitehall Choir for an uplifting programme of choral music featuring texts about singing, joy and the celebration of the arrival of summer! The concert includes popular works such as William Byrd’s Sing Joyfully, Eric Whitacre’s I Thank You God and Gerald Finzi’s My Spirit Sang All Day. Alongside these pieces we feature some less-known pieces such as Cecilia McDowall’s Psalm 65, Reena Esmail’s TaReKiTa and William Mathias’ O Clap Your Hands.
Do join us for a complimentary glass of wine after the concert to celebrate the end of our season!
