NORTH HERTS GUILD OF SINGERS

We are a happy and successful choir which has been going strong for more than 50 years. Based in Hitchin, we are one of the best-known and best-supported choirs in the area.

Our performance on November 16 of Handel's glorious (if sadly under-performed) Dettingen Te Deum went so well that many choir members wanted to sing it again straight away. In the second half CPE Bach's resounding Magnificat was nearing its conclusion when an audience member was taken ill; after a brief unscheduled interval, during which she received excellent care, we were able to round off the evening to appreciative applause. Daisy Livesey, Helena Cooke, Zahid Siddiqui and Allyn Wu brought their collective magic to the demanding solo movements and we welcomed back Musica Donum Dei, who always give us such magnificent support.

Thanks as always to Harry for achieving his usual high standard of performance and to Colin, whose talent for transposition leaves ordinary mortals breathless with admiration.

Next up is our Christmas concert at Walsworth Road Baptist Church on Saturday December 7. No tractors this year!

If you would like to come along and try us out, please contact our Membership Secretary membership@nhgs.org.uk. We are especially looking for singers to join our alto section.

We would love to see you at one of our concerts!

In December we'll be starting the festive season early with our Christmas Concert, and another piece new to the choir, Missa Media Nocte by contemporary composer Oliver Tarney. There will be plenty of carols as well, and lots of opportunities for the audience to join us singing them.
