AN AWARD-winning female choir will perform the latest Sunday afternoon concert inside Cliffe Castle Museum.
Opus 44, from Bingley, will perform music for all tastes from madrigals to musicals on July 10 at 2pm.
The free concert comes hot on the heels of a Bingley Arts Centre concert by Opus 44, which raised £266 for Cancer Support Yorkshire.
A choir spokesman said: “This will be one of the final concerts under the skilful control of musical director Alison Pryce-Jones, who will be leaving at Christmas after 12 successive years in charge.
“Opus 44 and therefore now starting the job of looking for enthusiastic, talented and knowledgeable choir coral directed to take place in the New Year.”
Madrigals to Musicals was the title of Opus 44’ as recent concert at Bingley Arts Centre, in Bingley Little Theatre’s Studio.
Keighley News reviewer Chris Tate praised the “wide-ranging and delightful” by the Mrs Sunderland Music Festival winners.
Along with musical director Alison Pryce-Jones, the concert featured her husband John Pryce-Jones as accompanist and daughter Catrin as the guest soloist.
Chris wrote: “Robert Latham's witty, yet challenging, arrangements of folky favourites such as Dashing Away With The Smoothing Iron or Soldier, Soldier, were rollicking fun exquisitely performed.
“This choir has great precision married with warmth and rounded depth, beautifully illustrated in an inventive Mexican song and the moving spiritual, I'm Going Up a Yonder. “
