Choral Day 2024

Our Festival opened on Saturday with our Choral Day. It was a wonderful celebration of music through the variety of choral traditions on show. Thank you to all the choirs, volunteers, supporters and our Adjudicator for the day, Mr Michael Dow, who came together to create such a fabulous day of competition.

Our Choral Secretary Ruth Wells, summed up the event –

Singing brings so many people together, and for an audience
listening to their children sing, it’s a magical and joyous time.
The children’s choirs in the morning were wonderful and the children
were so excited, but very confident standing up there in front of a
very large audience.
The atmosphere in the hall was great and it was so good to see the
winning choirs jumping up and down and having their photos taken
by their very proud parents.

The afternoon Choral Programme showcased six large choirs, each
one with a very different programme of songs. It was wonderful to
be sitting amongst all the choirs and listening to their song choices.
Uplifting, moving and always enjoyable – that’s what Hazel Grove
Musical Festival is all about and long may it continue.
