Encore! Singing quartet returning for summer concert
A summer concert has been planned to take place in Worfield as an encore following last year's successful event celebrating the King's coronation.
A quartet of singers from across the county, who formed Friends in Harmony in 2023, will be performing songs for a summer afternoon including folk, light and secular music, and songs from the shows and opera.
The hugely talented singers performing together include Suzanne Millington (soprano), and Peter Morris (bass baritone) who will be singing alongside Lindy Macdonald (mezzo). They will be accompanied on the piano by Kath Ainsworth.
All have taken leading roles in productions by musical and operatic societies, operas and choirs.
Friends in Harmony are making a return to St Peter's Church, Worfield on Sunday, 18 August at 2.30pm. Admission is free and refreshments will be served during an interval. There will be a retiring collection.
