Spring Concert, 2024: Holst and Puccini
2024-05-19 19:30 - 22:00 | Stonehaven Town Hall, Allardice Street, Stonehaven, AB39 2BU
2024 sees two significant anniversaries – 150 years since the birth of Gustav Holst and 100 years since the death of Giacomo Puccini. The Stonehaven Chorus has the pleasure of presenting works by both.

While Holst is best known for his orchestral suite “The Planets” we will be performing the First Choral Symphony in the world premiere of a special arrangement for Soprano soloist, chorus, two pianos and percussion by our very own Ralph Jamieson who will also conduct the performance.

Regarded as the greatest and most successful proponent of Italian opera after Verdi, Puccini also composed choral music. You will hear his Messa di Gloria, full of wonderful melodies and choruses, alongside tenor and baritone soloists.

Tickets available at the door.

Spring Concert 2023: Mendelssohn - Elijah
2023-05-21 19:30 - 22:00 | Stonehaven Town Hall, Allardice Street, Stonehaven, AB39 2BU
Our Spring 2023 concert will feature Mendelssohn’s dramatic oratorio, Elijah.

This piece was originally planned for our pandemic-affected 2021 concert, and our singers ended up learning the work via weekly Zoom calls. It was an interesting experience, which helped choir members keep in touch and at least singing in some way. But it is also one that we hope never to have to repeat!
