One of the country’s most distinguished choirs returns to Queen Street Central Hall this summer.

The Colne Valley Male Voice Choir, formed in 1922, will perform at the church on 17 August. 

The ensemble, which has won countless competitions, performs about a dozen times a year. Venues have included York Minster, Harewood House, Fountains Abbey, Preston Guild Hall, Fairfield Hall in Croydon and the Albert Hall in London.

The choir will be joined by Opera North soprano Victoria Sharp and tenor Campbell Russell, organist Simon Lindley, cornetist Phillip McCann and pianist Keith Swallow.

Keith has been the choir’s accompanist for over 50 years, says promoter Christine Cox.

The concert will start at 7.30pm. 

Tickets cost £12 (concessions £10) and can be bought at Record Revivals in Northway and on the door.
