Songs and Music for a Summer Evening

HOLYMOORSIDE CHORAL SOCIETY began in 1941 as a village choir. The tradition of singing a wide variety of music at local events and raising money for charity was established then and has continued to the present day. Today we are a friendly choir of 60 members who enjoy meeting together on Thursday evenings for rehearsals in Holymoorside, 3 miles SW of Chesterfield in Derbyshire. Our Musical Director, Andrew Marples is a very busy, accomplished musician with many local commitments. He is supported by excellent accompanist Christ Flint. We perform three main concerts each year, and have a wide repertoire, including music from traditional to modern classics, from sacred and oratorio pieces to folk and show songs.

LUCY PHILLIPS & JONNY INGALL (Violin & Cello Duo) have been performing as a duo since 2017.

The couple met as founder members of the Sheffield-based quartet Sarentino Strings. They especially enjoy introducing audiences to lesser-known works. Their many past performances include Sheffield’s Classical Weekend 2019, the in:spire concert series and the new Sounds of the City series as well as regular Sunday afternoon concerts at Fulwood Old Chapel. For their recent project “Music for Kids” Jonny has composed music to illustrate well-loved children’s stories.
