Phoenix Choir of Crawley returns to The Hawth this April
and live on Freeview channel 276
The return will see the choir perform Handel's best-known composition, Messiah.
Originally planned for Spring 2020, rehearsals were held and a workshop took place just before the first lockdown. This gave our choir members and guest singers a taste of some of the wonderful choruses.

"We have rehearsed just the choir parts, accompanied by a keyboard, so hearing it come together with all the instruments and solo parts, as Handel intended, is very exciting."
Full details of the Workshop are on www.PhoenixChoirCrawley.org.
Concert tickets are available from The Hawth box office on www.hawth.co.uk. For general choir enquiries call the secretary on 01293 421291.
