Our summer concert features a 150th Anniversary performance of James Battye's glee "Hail, Memory, Hail!"
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE ABOVE PIECE:
Special thanks are due to choir member Richander Birkinshaw for her work on producing this glee for the choir. Straight after its formation in 1875 the choir won a competition in Manchester with the above piece as part of the performance. The prize money was £70.00, a huge amount in those days. Choir members celebrated their win in premises on Zetland Street, Huddersfield, with a knife and fork tea!
