Harrogate Choral Society returns with Brahms and Elgar
Harrogate Choral Society will return to the concert stage after an absence of nearly two years on November 13.
The society will perform Elgar’s Enigma Variations and Brahms' German Requiem at Harrogate Royal Hall under new conductor David Lawrence.
Mr Lawrence is a familiar face in Harrogate schools through his work as principal conductor of Young Voices choir.
In addition to holding the Guinness World Record for conducting the UK's largest choir of 6,846 singers, he has adjudicated for international festivals.
He said:
The concert opens with two choral works by Elgar, Give unto the Lord and Ave Verum, followed by the Enigma Variations, which are given an added twist by being arranged for two pianos played by brothers Thomas and Stephen Moore.
The brothers will again accompany the final work, Brahms Requiem, which also features soloists Laurie Ashworth (soprano) and Adam Green (bass).
More details are available here and tickets are on sale here.
