With Valentine’s Day just around the corner what better theme for a concert than romance?
And that’s what’s in store in Huddersfield next week when talented young musicians from across Kirklees pack the town hall for a major charity concert.
Tuesday’s concert (February 11) will raise money for the Mayor’s Charity which is One Community, a non-profit organisation created to generate financial support for Kirklees-based community activities.
The concert has brought together performers from a wide range of musical organisations from across the area.
Young musicians from the Kirklees Youth Symphony Orchestra will feature in the concert alongside Dewsbury/Mirfield Music Centre Swing Band and Huddersfield’s Sikh Youth Dhol Academy.
There will also be a massed choir made up of children from Norristhorpe, Battyeford, St Patrick’s, Netherthong and Heckmondwike Primary schools, and Scissett Middle School.
This feast of romantic music will include items from hit musicals such as Les Miserables plus songs by Take That and The Beatles.
The youngsters will also play classical music and that is where the renowned Town Hall organ becomes the focus of the event.
Greenhead College student, Sam Barber will play the last movement of Saint-Saens’ organ symphony. The theme is known to many as the theme from the movie, Babe.
Thom Meredith, Principal, Kirklees Music School said: “We are all delighted to have been given the opportunity to support the Mayor’s Charity.
“The programme for the evening provides something for everyone from Tchaikovsky to Van Morrison.
“The young people have put such a lot of work into preparing for this event, it would be great to see the Town Hall full,” he added.
