Fernhurst Choral Society will be holding the next of its enthusiastic, and ever-popular, “Come and Sing” days at St Mary’s Church, Petworth on Saturday 21 April, featuring choruses from Karl Jenkins The Armed Man. Based on the Catholic Mass, the piece was commissioned by the Royal Armouries Museum for the Millennium celebrations and was premiered at The Royal Albert Hall, London in April 2000. It has since been performed many hundreds of times.

Tickets at £10 (plus £2 for score hire) are available from robwalker4719@gmail.com Tel: 01428 654893 or www.fernhurstchoralsociety.org.uk/concerts/. Doors open at 1:30pm and rehearsals start at 2:00pm. Ample supplies of tea, coffee and cake will be supplied to sustain all involved. The day concludes with an informal performance at 5:45pm.

Fernhurst Choral Society’s 2017-18 season culminates with a performance of Verdi’s Requiem on 9 June in Chichester. The Society can be followed on Facebook (Fernhurst Choral Society) and Twitter @FernhurstChoral.
