“The exuberant members are very committed and enthusiastic to showcase their vocal talents to a packed audience and they can’t wait to take to the stage alongside the three local choirs.”

The money raised will be divided between towards the University’s Harris Bursary Fund, which helps disadvantaged students, and the Chamber Choir.
