THINGS
TO COME – CHELMSFORD SINGERS
The Chelmsford Singers celebrate their 90th anniversary with a gala concert on July 1st. Sung in Chelmsford Cathedral, traditionally their principal venue, it's an ambitious, but popular, programme, with Britten, Orff and Borodin in the mix.
The
Singers were formed by William Bush back in 1927 – he was their
conductor until 1945, when he was succeeded by Roland Middleton, the
first in a distinguished line of Cathedral Masters of the Music to
hold the post; James Davy, the present incumbent, will conduct this
gala concert, when the Singers will be joined by voices from the
Cathedral's choirs, as well as soloists and the Chelmsford
Sinfonietta.picture shows the Chelmsford Singers on their tour to Belgium earlier this year.
