The choir has performed in Halifax on a number of occasions over the years, most recently just prior to the pandemic in 2019. However, this will be the singers’ first visit to St Columba’s and the audience will be in for a treat as the choir rolls out much of its new repertoire, which has been titled A Celebration of British Music<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n

At Saint Columba’s, Rosie will play a selection of her own pieces as well as joining with the choir to reprise a YouTube recording of the sublime Caccini’s Ave Maria<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n
