Huddersfield Bach Collegium – Sunday 26 February at 6:30 pm
at Holy Trinity Church, Trinity Street,
Huddersfield, HD1 4QT
Holy Trinity is delighted to be hosting the inaugural performance of the Huddersfield Bach Collegium.
This new group is performing the liturgical music of Bach and other composers to a professional standard in its intended form – as an act of worship.
We would like to invite all who might be interested to the first event, to be held on Sunday 26th February at 6.30 pm.
It would be great to see a good congregation in what promises to be
an uplifting and rich start to the Lenten season.
