The Choir also organises short choral tours and other special events which are increasingly
well supported and have become an integral part of our annual programme.
July 2008 - Ryedale Festival.
To quote from the Chairman's newsletter "Sat: Sang five concerts on one glorious day,
three different venues, culminating in magnificent open air performance in Rievaulx Abbey
with brass & period instruments. Sat evening: ‘Big Band’ concert, Charlston’d the night
away. Sun: Chorus from extract of Die Zauberflöte, in Hovingham Hall, childhood home of
the Dutchess of Kent – who was in the audience!” Photos
