Thank you for joining us in 2023!
You will be pleased to know that we raised £4000 for Resurrected Bites.
The committee is now planning the 2024 event.
It will take place in Holy Trinity, Knaresborough again and the date is Sunday November 24th 2024.
Our funds will go to Nidderdale Plus to assist in setting up a Befriending Service in the dale.
We are delighted that Anthony Gray has agreed to conduct for us. He is Director of Music of St Wilfrid’s Church, Harrogate, Conductor and Artistic Director of Halifax Choral Society, Sub-Organist and Assistant Director of Music at Bradford Cathedral and Joint Deputy Director of Harrogate Choral Society.
We will update the remaining information as it becomes available.
I am sure you would like to know that Will Bruce, who conducted last year's Nidderdale Messiah is now fulfilling an important role at St Paul's Cathedral in London.
