Harpenden Choral Society has an established reputation for high quality performances with professional soloists and orchestras. We give four concerts a year including a carol concert and hold an open workshop or ‘Come and Sing’ event once a year. Most of our concerts are in the Harpenden area. Since our formation in 1975 the choir has grown from strength to strength and our repertoire now includes most of the major choral works as well as some lesser-known works and contemporary pieces.
Harpenden Choral Society is delighted to present a concert featuring three masterpieces of the Baroque and Classical eras, united by their spirit of praise and celebration. Vivaldi’s Gloria is one of his best-loved works, full of contrast and colour. Mozart’s Exsultate Jubilate shows Mozart at his most lyrical and elegant, building to the dazzling final Alleluia. Handel’s Coronation Anthems are music of great grandeur and ceremony. Handel wrote these anthems at speed, but their impact has proved remarkably lasting. Zadok the Priest has been performed at every British coronation since 1727 and remains remarkable for its dramatic impact
