The Choir in St Bavo's Cathedral, Gent
Choir members and wives recently enjoyed a visit to Gent in Belgium. The Choir sang at St. Saviour's Cathedral in Bruges and St Bavo's Cathedral in
Gent where one of the World's greatest art treasures, the 600 years old Gent Altarpiece is on display.
The Choir remembered the dead of the First World War
by singing at The Menin Gate in Ypres and visiting both Commonwealth and German burial sites. Read more about the trip on our
current news page.
Sir Willard White is Choir's guest for 2014!
The Choir is delighted to announce that Sir Willard White will be their guest in Huddersfield Town Hall on Saturday October 11th 2014.
Sir Willard, famed for his enormous rich voice and charismatic stage presence, appeared with the Choir in the Town Hall in 2006.
His illustrious career has taken him to the most prestigious opera houses and concert halls throughout
the world, collaborating with conductors, directors and orchestras of the highest calibre.
Recently, Sir Willard has appeared as the High Priest in Alceste at the Teatro Real in Madrid and as Klingsor in Parsifal
at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden. Both roles received huge critical acclaim.
Not only is he one of the world's best loved opera stars, Sir Willard has also starred as Othello alongside Sir Ian McKellen
(as Iago) in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre's production of Othello.
Naturally, the Choir are overwhelmed that they will
join him on the stage of Huddersfield Town Hall!

'Men in Green Jackets' Presentation
Attention all Speaker-finders, Secretaries of Organisations, or anyone who organises meetings with speakers.What you need is "Men in Green Jackets" - a light-hearted and entertaining audio-visual presentation about New Mill Male Voice Choir - its history, and the sound it makes.
The presentation lasts about an hour (plus or minus 15 minutes as required). There is no charge for the presentation but a donation to charity is welcomed - we may possibly have to ask for travelling expenses for longer distances outside the Huddersfield area.
All you need is a minimum number of 15 in the audience, and a readiness to enjoy a good story and some good music.
Please note that we are not usually available on Tuesday evenings as that is choir rehearsal time.
Go to the 'Men in Green Jackets' booking page for contact details.
