We opened out 2024/45 concert season at St Margaret's Prestwich to a very appreciative audience - who as well as Simply Sublime Singing, were also treated to lots of cake!
Autumn Concert at St Michael's, Flixton
06/11/2013 12:24
The Flixton concert didn’t have snow like last year ... but we did get thunder and lightning, which went very well with Reg’s stunning programme cover ‘Sunset and the Dark’ning Blue’. The title was taken from René Clausen’s Tonight Eternity Alone sung by the Chorale that evening. The...

Anonymous Donation

During the summer, we received a very handsome gift – over £1,300 was anonymously donated to The Manchester Chorale.
It was immediately put to good use by our Musical Director who used it to buy music for the choir. Jill must have spent a long time deliberating over how to spend it. She has chosen...

Yesterday we enjoyed fine weather for our return visit to the Bridge Church, Otley, for a concert of wonderful choral music. As previously, we were well looked after with hot and cold drinks and snacks (every choir needs plenty of these!) and the audience seemed to enjoy the evening. Looking...
Aled Jones to sing with the Chorale

The Chorale occasionally get to back famous people. At Christmas, we will be singing in the Bridgewater Hall with Aled Jones MBE. It won’t be the first time some of the Chorale have sung with Aled. A Songs of Praise from Gorton Monastery comes to mind. This time it’s The Glory of Christmas concert...
Adiemus and The Armed Man

We are just recovering after our second concert with Sir Karl Jenkins. A 2-hour rehearsal followed by a 2-hour concert is very wearing – not so much on the voice, but on the knees. The choir gets to sing in most of the Symphonic Adiemus and The Armed Man, so are stood up for most of it. It’s not...

31/07/2023 15:30
Our 2022/23 season finale was a concert of music from around the world, sung at St Paul's Withington. The weather was best described as "unseasonal", but that only added to the atmosphere and ambiance, with lightning flashes as we sang of "the scorched earth [crying] out in vain" during Frank...

"MANCHESTER CHORALE
The Priory is very fortunate in the quality of musical talent that Colin Crabtree and his team bring before us in the course of our Concert Series. A prime example was the visit of The Manchester Chorale with their conductor Jill...
