                           Huddersfield Choral Society's Messiah at Huddersfield Town Hall

               Huddersfield Choral Society, which was founded more than 180 years ago, is
               refusing to remain silent despite the pandemic with a little help from the town's
               favourite son, Poet Laureate Simon Armitage.

               In March it was silenced - along with all music-making around the world and just two
               weeks into lockdown two of its members died from COVID-19.
