The ornate St Patrick’s Church in Huddersfield<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Designed by Bradford architect Joseph Kaye in a thin Gothic revival style and built in ashlar stone with pitch slate roof, the church is styled with distinctive twin octagonal turrets and untraceried chamfered lancet windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such was its architectural and historic significance that the church was designated as a Grade II listed building in 1952.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The church is presently undergoing major external and internal refurbishment in preparation for its 200th<\/sup> anniversary and proceeds from the concert will go towards this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choir\u2019s programme of works by contemporary composers has been wowing audiences across the region and will sit well in St Patrick\u2019s fabulous acoustic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In what is a varied repertoire the singers will perform the dynamic Sogno Di Volare<\/em> by America composer Christopher Tin, Exsultate Jubilate<\/em> by Sir Karl Jenkins and The Gathering Tree<\/em> by award-winning English composer Rachel Portman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlights at recent concerts will also make the repertoire including the singer\u2019s performance of John Farnham\u2019s You\u2019re The Voice<\/em> led by alto soloist Liz Leonard and the Guys And Dolls<\/em> classic Sit Down You\u2019re Rocking The Boat<\/em> led by tenor soloist Robin Reid.  Spiritual anthems (Dem) Dry Bones<\/em> and timeless gospel hymn Total Praise<\/em> have also been added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets are just \u00a310 (children free) and can be obtained through the church on 07701 390651 or email traceygmaseela@sky.com\u00a0or by emailing the choir at chordiality.choir@hotmail.com or through a member of the choir<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
