Hurstpierpoint
Festival
For
the 2009 Hurstpierpoint Festival we again joined forces with the Hurst Festival
Choir and the choir of Holy Trinity Church to sing Handel's Messiah. This was a sing from scratch concert and as always, a huge success.
Christmas
Concert 2009
Our Christmas concerts are held each year in Hurstpierpoint Village
Centre, Trinity Road.
We celebrate the festive season with carols both old and new and at the end of the concert offer mince pies and a glass of wine to
the members of the audience.
This is always an excellent concert which makes a great start to Christmas!
This year the concert featured the Fantasia on Christmas Carols by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
"The best yet!" was one comment from a member of the audience. "The choir gets better and better," from another.
