Darius Battiwalla Masterclass – Leeds Town Hall
On 2nd December, Darius Battiwalla is holding a masterclass exploring 19th C (and onwards) Organ works. Leeds Town Hall runs one of the country’s most successful recital series. This class is a chance to work on concert repertoire from the 19th century onwards with Darius Battiwalla, the new Leeds City Organist.
Bring a piece of 19th-century repertoire. Players of any level of attainment are welcome as long as the piece they are playing is at an advanced stage of preparation; however, players who are able to make full use of this large instrument will derive the most benefit from the masterclass.
Fee: £45 (RCO Members); £51 (non-members). Observer places may be available.
Further information can be found on: http://www.dariusbattiwalla.com/
To book, please see the RCO website: https://www.rco.org.uk/events.php?eventid=513

Halifax Choral Society Events
We believe Halifax Choral Society is the oldest Choral Society in the world! Over the next few months we will be celebrating its bicentenary by promoting a really special series of concerts:
- On Sunday, 15th October 2017, at 7.30pm in the Victoria Theatre in Halifax, 350 of us will present:
- Philip Wilby’s oratorio THE HOLY FACE; the première of our new commission, which tells the dramatic biblical story of the life of Halifax’s patron saint, John the Baptist.
- Mendelssohn’s Psalm 114 (“When Israel out of Egypt came”); This work was dedicated by the composer to the Society in 1837.
- Bruckner’s Te Deum Laudamus.
- On Sunday, 26th November 2017, at 6.30pm in Halifax’s Victoria Theatre:
- The Society’s 199th annual Messiah (G F Handel), this year in the acclaimed arrangement by Dr Denis Wright for choir, brass (the world-famous Black Dyke Band) and organ.
- In Spring 2018:
- Haydn’s Creation — this was the very first work performed by the Society, in 1817. For this occasion, we plan to welcome back The Hanover Band, who will perform on their instruments of that period.
