Don’t forget, our Handel-fest is this Sunday, 7th April at 7.30pm in St Peters, Sudbury.
Tickets are available on the door or in advance from Compact Music, North St, or the Tourist Information Centre in Sudbury Library.
We are singing all the standards as well as some of the lesser known choruses (my favourite is the dramatic and dark fugue of He Trusted In God: https://youtu.be/-Y00eDIK52g).
See you on Sunday!

Our last concert, Mendelssohn’s Elijah was a huge success for us – an inspiring evening, spurred on by having a replacement Elijah soloist at the last minute – you would never have known.
