Join Halstead Choral as we explore folksongs from the British Isles and beyond. Conducted by James Davey, with accompanist Fran Jefferies they enthusiastically lead the choir through traditional folks songs to new gems. We span the years and continents with words from Shakespeare to native American lyric’s; an atmospheric piece by Orlando Gibbons; part-songs by Holst; spirituals and of course an Essex folk-song by Vaughan Williams! We're delighted to be able to welcome local folk singer and previous choir member, Moose performing as 1 quarter of cappella folk group Sound Tradition! They will be performing some beautiful folk songs.

This is a relaxed concert, cabaret style. Please bring your own drinks and snacks to indulge in during the performance and interval.

There's a limited number of Early Bird tickets available until 15 June so get yours now!
