Touring choir to sing for Rotherham

AN INTERNATIONAL touring choir is set to provide a rare treat for Rotherham audiences next month.

On September 10, Masterworks Chorale will perform at Rotherham Minster.

The concert will be the first of the Leeds-based choir’s new season and promises to fulfil their aim of “taking the finest music to the finest venues”. They have sung in cathedrals, churches and stately homes around West Yorkshire and Northern England and this has taken them overseas to a hugely successful tour in New York as well as Paris and Belgium.

Later this year they will travel to Venice to perform Vivaldi’s music in his church, Santa Maria Della Pietà.

Fine choral music, a Proms style finale and some works from musical director, Tim Knight, are all in the programme.

The concert begins at 7.30pm.

Tickets are available at www.heritagechorale.org.uk, from Rotherham Minster or on 0113 243 1605.
