STANDING OVATION FOR SKIPTON CHOIR AND SKIPTON BRASS
​​
THERE was a standing ovation at the end of a concert by The Skipton Choir and guests, Skipton Brass.
The audience at Skipton Town Hall were treated to a joyous programme of music, held on 6th December, to raise money to replace the outdated heating system at the town's Holy Trinity Church.
The varied programme of music from both the choir and Skipton Brass, starting with the introductory pieces ‘Prismatic Light’ a popular brass band composition with its bright, uplifting sound, and from the choir, the South African folk song ‘Tshotsholoza’.
The audience was then treated to a number of choir and band favourites.
The second half went into Christmas mode with a few well-known festive favourites including a highly entertaining version of ‘The 12 days of Christmas’ and, as a finale ‘We wish you a Merry Christmas', after which there was a well deserved standing ovation from the audience.
David Weale-Davey, The Skipton Choir’s Musical Director said: "With nearly 100 musicians on stage, we really lifted the roof – It was an amazing atmosphere, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Skipton Brass sounded top-notch and brought festive cheer to the evening. The choir gave a tour de force performance, even singing in the aisles. I was extremely proud.
"A particular highlight for me was ‘Hey Jude’ which the Choir and Band performed together to close the first half.”
Adrian Austin, Musical Director of Skipton Brass said: "The choir conducted by David Weale-Davey, were excellent. The band also played brilliantly. Choirs and brass bands are a fabulous mix".​​​
