The Hallé

It’s not every day you get the chance to sing in a spectacular Concert Hall backed by an eighty-piece orchestra, but that’s what you’ll be doing when you join the Drivetime Choir and sing during our Drivetime Concert. This year’s theme is a cosmic voyage through space with music from Holst’s The Planets, Doctor Who and Star Wars.

As part of the Drivetime Choir you’ll be performing the thrilling Blest Pair of Sirens by Hubert Parry. Last year we had over 500 choir members making a truly breath-taking sound.

The Drivetime Choir is open to all, from beginners to seasoned singers, and you’ll receive expert coaching from Angela Kay MBE, former Director of Music for Everyone. Her rehearsal sessions are always informal and fun and you’ll be amazed how far you take your singing in just a couple of hours.

Joining the choir is easy and won’t take up much of your time. You just need to attend at least one of the two rehearsals before the concert. There’s also a dress rehearsal with the Hallé on Friday 13 June at 5.15pm. It’s not compulsory but you’ll certainly find it helpful.

How to join
You can book your Drivetime Choir ticket now in the Stalls and will be sent the sign-up form along with full details of the Concert and rehearsals very soon.
