Spires
Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus
Play & Sing Events
Every year, we welcome over 100 musicians to play and sing with Spires Music as we learn a work from scratch in just one day. We rehearse during the morning and afternoon and then, under the guidance of our Music Director Jack Lovell-Huckle, we give an informal performance for our friends and family. We've previously tackled works including Shostakovich 5th Symphony, Brahms' A German Requiem, Handel's Messiah and Schubert's Mass in Ab.
