<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Library</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Please ensure that all loaned music manuscripts are treated with care and returned immediately at the end of each concert. If you have music but are unable to attend the concert, you must return it <b>beforehand </b>to the librarians who can be contacted at <a href="mailto:info@horsforthchoralsociety.co.uk" target="_blank">info@horsforthchoralsociety.co.uk</a>. <b>If your music comes back late you may be charged a fee, as the choir is charged extra for copies returned late to the Music Loan service.</b></span></div>

Come to Bradford Festival Choral Society’s wonderful concert, <b>A Night at the Opera</b>, on <b>Saturday, May 13th</b>, 7.30 pm at All Saints’ Parish Church, Bingley, BD16 2RH. We’re singing all your favourite opera choruses and a couple of lovely less familiar ones, and the fabulous soloists will be singing some of the best-loved arias. If you came to the Mozart Requiem and Haydn Nelson Mass you’ll know how good the choir is these days, and if you didn’t, come and find out. There will be wine, soft drinks and extra special nibbles (some home made) in the interval.<br />
Tickets from the choir website - and on the door, but for this smallish venue it may be better to get them in advance.<br />
And some more dates:<br />
Saturday June 17th, <b>Mahler’s 2nd symphony</b>, Huddersfield Town Hall: This large scale work needs an enormous choir, so if you’d like to join us as an extra singer, see attached flyer.<br />
Wednesday Sept 13th, St Peter’s Church Hall, Moorhead Lane, Shipley BD18 4DH: <b>Open rehearsal</b> for people interested in joining our choir<br />
Wednesday Oct 4th, Freedom Studios, 7 Manor Row, Bradford BD1 4DP: 8 week <b>Learn to Sing course</b> led by the brilliant Sally Egan<br />
<br />
