Description:
We are delighted to be presenting Britten's Saint Nicolas for our annual 'Come and Sing' as part of our 150th anniversary season!
We performed the piece in a virtual concert in 2020 and are excited to have the chance to sing it live especially as the Belfast Philharmonic Youth and Chamber Choirs will be involved for the first time. Singers of all ages* and experience levels are welcome to join to learn Britten's first professional work intended to be performed by amateur musicians.
Chorus Director James Grossmith and Youth Choirs Artistic Director Lynsey Callaghan will lead attendees through the choruses, supported by members of the Belfast Philharmonic Choirs and the Society’s Accompanist Gail Evans. Tenor and Vocal Coach, Ross Scanlon, who was our soloist in 2020, will reprise the role of 'Saint Nicolas' and also coach the young singers.
The event will finish with a performance to the public at 4pm and this can be booked using the link above. Tickets for this exciting day of music making are the perfect Christmas present for anyone who loves choral singing and a great way of experience what it's like to sing with a large symphonic choir.
*Singers under 16 need to accompanied by an adult
