‘Founded in 1929 as a result of the amalgamation of two local musical societies, Hull Harmonic Society and Hull Vocal Society. The choir quickly established a strong reputation and has taken pleasure in bringing high quality choral events to the city of Hull ever since ... We perform an ever-extending repertoire from the great oratorios to contempory works. Each season typically consists of an autumn and a spring concert, with a Christmas performance of Handel’s Messiah and a Family Carol Concert on alternate years. Some of these events take place in the magnificent Hull City Hall.’
