It is being billed as ‘300 voices in monumental harmony’.

And they will include those of 100 members of the Huddersfield Choral Society, which is taking part in a performance of Verdi’s Requiem at the Royal Albert Hall in September.

The choral society is one of three distinguished choirs in the performance in London.

And general secretary Jeremy Garside said it is a venue the choir very much enjoys.

“It’s one of the top concert halls, and Verdi’s Requiem is very much enjoyed by the choir, and the combination of the two promises to make it a fantastic concert.

“We have done a number of concerts at the Albert Hall in the past, and we go every two or three years, but this will be the first for a few years.

“It’s a very big space to fill, and Verdi’s Requiem needs a lot of power from the choir.

“We are doing it alongside two others which is going to help with the sound and the atmosphere.

“We are very much looking forward to it.”
