New Concert details
The Chorale will be giving a Concert at St Michael's Church, Flixton on Saturday February 4th in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support.
Interview with a Composer
Robin Stevens sings baritone in the Manchester Chorale, and he is also a composer. The Chorale is taking part in his annual charity concert at Emmanuel Church, Didsbury on 28th April 2012, so we thought we would ask him a few questions about his life as a composer.
