The choir rehearse once a week in Stockton, but singers come from all over the region, based in schools and colleges in Middlesbrough, Redcar, Richmond and Hartlepool. Over the years the choir has been proud that many singers have become members of The National Youth Choirs of Great Britain and several have gone on to sing professionally. The choir has toured Europe extensively, performing in some of the finest venues including St Mark’s and St Paul’s Basilicas, Venice, St Michael’s Cathedral, Budapest, St Vitus Cathedral, Prague, Barcelona Cathedral and La Madeleine and Les Invalides, Paris.
19th century Paris was a flamboyant world dominated by opera, dramatics, stage works and notable men. Louise Farrenc differed from the French norm in many ways not least the fact she was a woman. Her compositions were more intimate than most, drawing influence from the Germanic recent past rather than the contemporary salon music. This Piano Quintet demonstrates beautiful melodic writing and interweaving counterpoint which makes it challenging to play and pleasing on the ear. Based on this first quintet it is hard to comprehend why her works are mostly unexplored.
