The Leconfield Singers, a distinguished West Sussex-based choir, are known for their excellence in choral singing and their commitment to bringing great music to the community. Founded in 2012, the choir has built a strong reputation for delivering dynamic and moving performances across a wide range of classical and contemporary choral works.
Handel’s Messiah, first performed in 1742, is one of the most famous oratorios ever composed. With its powerful choruses, intricate harmonies, and deeply moving solos, it remains a cornerstone of choral music, beloved by audiences worldwide. The oratorio’s iconic Hallelujah Chorus is a particularly anticipated highlight, sure to resonate magnificently in the cathedral’s grand acoustics.
Joining the Leconfield Singers for this performance is a stellar lineup of soloists: soprano: Clara Orif, counter-tenor: Francis Bamford, tenor: Ben Johnson, and bass: Simon Thorpe. Their exceptional talents will bring the piece’s sacred texts and soaring melodies to life, making for an unforgettable evening.
The concert marks an exciting season for the Leconfield Singers, as they prepare to take their music beyond the UK with a special tour to Angoulême, France, in July. This international venture will further showcase the choir’s versatility and dedication to sharing the joy of choral music with wider audiences.
Tickets for the Arundel Cathedral performance are expected to sell quickly, given the choir’s growing reputation and the popularity of Messiah. Music enthusiasts are encouraged to book early to secure their place at what promises to be a truly inspirational evening.
