He said: “Since a very young age, I have had an interest in traditional choral singing and I have wanted to pursue my passion for this type of music for a very long time now.

“Before the beginning of this academic year, I decided to sit down and plan out a charity concert featuring a choir, which I would form and train over the subsequent weeks.

“Being an avid fan of John Rutter’s music – especially his Christmas carols – I thought that it was only proper to perform a concert of his pieces. I have been rehearsing in Kirkham at The Willows Church with my choir, Cantabimus, for a few weeks now and have booked the concert venue, Preston Minster. I am very much looking forward to the concert, for which the date is looming, and I hope there will be a great turnout. After all, that’s what we are there doing: supporting good causes.”

The concert takes place on Friday 28 November from 7pm. It is expected to finish around 10pm.

Tickets are £5 in advance and under16s are admitted free. On the night tickets are £8. Advance tickets can be bought from Cantabimus via Eventbrite.
