Choirs hit the high notes for York’s first Community Choir Festival
Eleven choirs from in and around York dazzled audiences with their vocal dexterity over the three evenings of the first York Community Choir Festival, which ran from Thursday to Saturday (28-30 January) at Joseph Rowntree Theatre.
The three-day event featured many different types of choirs, from men’s and women’s barbershop choruses, to traditional choirs, and some razzle dazzle with musical theatre favourites. The three evenings were each compèred by Dougie Weake of Vale Radio, Adam Tomlinson and Elly Fiorentini of BBC Radio York.
