Dore Male Voice Choir
The Choir was again invited to sing in the prestigious Anglo-Welsh Choir Festival at Leicester in April. Five English and Four Welsh choirs, with over 300 voices, sang to a capacity audience at the De Montfort Hall. Over £10,000 was raised for charity at this event.
The Dore Male Voice Choir, with over 60 members gives a number of concerts during the year, both in Sheffield and further abroad. The Choir is now preparing for the Anniversary Concert. Because a large audience is expected this takes place in Ecclesall Church on Saturday 13th October starting at 7.00 p.m. This year the choir will be joined by the senior section of The City of Sheffield Youth Choirs who come with a deserved acclaimed reputation. The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress will be our special guests.
Perhaps you are interested in joining the Choir, or maybe it has never crossed your mind. Why not come and sit in on one of our rehearsals? You will be made most welcome. Call in on any Thursday night, 7.30 to 9.30 at the Church Hall. You will not be disappointed.
