Children from schools in Huddersfield got some expert tuition from a world-famous choir.

Pupils in Scissett were given the chance to take part in special workshops featuring members of the Miraculum Girls Choir, from Hungary.

The choir are on a tour of the UK and in addition to headlining a concert in the town, they worked with children from Scissett First and Middle Schools.

Elaine Watson, the headteacher, said: “You could see they bring joy to all the pupils.”

The Kirklees Area Committee funded the project and the Hungarian choir and Scissett First pupils also received a brass workshop from musician James Stretton.

Penny Prescott managed the event with the help of Scissett Middle School’s Joe Szyzlo, head of music, and Kirklees Music School’s Trudy Mansfield.

The choir also collaborated with Scissett Middle School’s Wind Band, Scissett First’s Strings, Shelley Music Centre’s Clarinet Quartet and Big Band at Shelley College with great success and appreciation.

The choir come from a specialist singing school in Kecskemét in Hungary which was founded in 1950 by composer Zoltán Kodály who, after a visit, was inspired by England’s rich choral tradition.
