Huddersfield Choral Society
refuses to stay silent with
world premiere next month
Poet Laureate Simon Armitage helps lead its resurgence despite
the pandemic
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.
