PINSUTI, the Ilkley and Skipton Chamber Choir, are singing an range of songs from the shows, barbershop, madrigals and eight part sacred anthems at St Peter’s Hall in Addingham at 7.30pm on Saturday, July 7.

This is a new venue for the choir, and they are planning a packed evening of music to appeal to a wide variety of musical tastes, including favourites such as Blue Moon, Tea for Two and Begin the Beguine, along with their seasonal favourite Summer Time.

They divide into two choirs for Harris’ motets Bring Us, O Lord God and Faire is the Heaven, modern settings of texts by Donne and Spenser, respectively.

They split further to showcase the men singing barbershop arrangements Coney Island Baby and Cabaret, and the women singing a modern arrangement of Schubert’s Ave Maria.

The Victorian era is represented by two songs by Sullivan (without Gilbert), Echoes and the better known The Long Day Closes. Travelling further back in time the choir will sing a selection of their favourite madrigals, including See What a Maze of Error by Kirbye and the The Silver Swan by Gibbons.

Alongside the music, refreshments including tea, coffee, cakes and strawberries will be available (by donation).

Tickets, which cost £8, are available from choir members or on the door, and the concert starts at 7.30pm.
