Several YPC members have had a wonderful evening in Malton with @EricWhitacre today in his workshop as part of the Rydale Festival. Diane & Elaine were lucky to meet Eric afterwards. Wendy, Viv, Jess & Deborah also took part & really enjoyed singing Seal Lullaby & Sing Gently.🎶

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer break and making the most of the glorious weather!☀️ Here are a few more lovely photos from our ‘A Night at the Opera’ concert day last month. 📸 Photography: Matthew Good

I’m so very proud to be a member of the choir of @LeedsMinster. Following this morning’s service we were given a copy of our newly released CD - The Saviour, composed by William Lloyd Webber. @OfficialALW @JLloydWebber @prioryrecords

Rehearsing opera choruses is great fun and an opportunity to sing in other languages. We’re getting into character with our best French in Bizet’s March of the Toreadors and Italian for Verdi’s Brindisi. Tickets: 🎟️ yorkshirephilharmonicchoir.co.uk

Happy Easter ☀️🌷✝️

‘Israel in Egypt’ is a vivid biblical epic with Handel at his most inventive, depicting plagues of flies, lice, locusts, frogs and hailstones through his music! Much of the oratorio is scored for double-choir which adds to the drama … unmissable! 🪰🦗🐸🌨️🪰🦗🐸🌨️🪰🦗🐸🌨️🪰🦗🐸

Meet our soloists who will be performing with us on 29th March in Handel’s Israel in Egypt. Clare Wheat (Soprano) Beth Moxon (Alto) Austin Gunn (Tenor) Neil Balfour (Bass). Tickets now available: yorkshirephilharmonicchoir.co.uk
