 Posted on 29 October 2010 |  Print ‘Messiah’ in Wakefield
The Yorkshire Philharmonic Choir present Handel’s masterpiece in Wakefield Cathedral on Sunday Evening 21 November at 7.30 pm. It is a number of years since Messiah was presented in Wakefield and the YPC, in association with the Cathedral Authorities have determined to correct that omission, by doing so in replacement of the Cathedral’s Evening Worship on that Sunday night. It is some time since you experienced the emotion and thrill of sharing in this superb work, which focuses on the annunciation and the passion of Christ (or maybe you never have), why not take this opportunity to do so. Tickets are £12 (£10 concessions) from 01924 364862, ypctickets@googlemail.com or for the next two weeks, have a word with Derek Howell or Stephanie Woodhead.

Posted on 5 March 2010 | PrintAlmost 400 years ago a young man went for a job interview. The job – Master of the Chapel Music at St Mark’s Cathedral in Venice. The man – Claudio Monteverdi. He was mostly known for his non religious music so, to try to impress his would be employers, he took with him a compilation of his few pieces of sacred music which he called his ‘Vespers’. On 27th March at 7.30 pm in Wakefield Cathedral the Yorkshire Philharmonic Choir with the 18th Century Sinfonia and 7 young soloists will present a 400th Anniversary performance of ‘Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610’. If you choose to come and share in this unique experience you will hear ‘the richest single work of church music before Bach’. It will be a true ‘Celebration of Early Music’. – Oh, by the way – he got the job! Tickets are £12 (£10 conces.) tel 01924

Posted on 28 March 2009 | PrintFriday the 27th March was a fantastic night for the town of Normanton.
Over 200 people packed into our church to listen to 110 schoolchildren sing about Easter.
Lead by Dave Clark and the All Saints Worship Team the children, from 5 schools around the Normanton area, sang their hearts out to the impressed audience.
The children sang some of their own individual school songs and then came together under the leadership of Dave to produce “a sound pleasing to heaven”
The church did a great job in producing the event too. From the PA/VA, lighting, catering (yes we fed all 110 children), all the “happy helpers” dealing with security and other issues, all worked very hard to make the event a great success, not only for the church and the town, but for GOD.
Some comments about the evening:
