Harpenden Choral Society has an established reputation for high quality performances with professional soloists and orchestras. We give four concerts a year including a carol concert and hold an open workshop or ‘Come and Sing’ event once a year. Most of our concerts are in the Harpenden area. Since our formation in 1975 the choir has grown from strength to strength and our repertoire now includes most of the major choral works as well as some lesser-known works and contemporary pieces.
The programme for our 50th Anniversary Concert has been suggested by members of the choir members and features favourite works including:
Allegri: Miserere
Parry: I Was Glad
Rachmaninov: Bogoritsye Dyevo
Balfour Gardiner: Evening Hymn
Elgar: The Spirit of the Lord
Fauré: Cantique de Jean Racine
Stanford: The Blue Bird
Stanford: Beati Quorum Via
Bruckner:Locus Iste
Mozart: Ave Verum
Britten: Hymn to St Cecilia
