Works Performed
All these works have been performed over the last two decades by Ramsbottom Choral Society and Orchestra, conducted by Barry Sugden, and featured various soloists from the North of England, some of whom have become successful, full time professional singers with international careers.
The choir also has a few members who are soloists in their own right, and at some performances they take some of the solo parts.
‘Many of the works have been performed more than once on quite separate occasions. Handel’s Messiah has received 15 large scale performances.’
