Belfast choir makes UK final

People flying in to Belfast who enjoy seeing a choir sing could take up the chance to see the Grosvenor Chorale, a choir from the city that has made it to the final of a UK-wide competition.

The choir won its heat with a performance of The Star of County Down and is now through to the final of the BBC Radio Three Choir of the Year competition, which is the largest amateur sing-off event in Britain.

Those flying from Belfast to support the choir can see the final at the Royal Festival Hall in London on December 7th, which will be hosted by Aled Jones.

Stuart Barr, a national selection stage judge in the contest, commented: "Some choirs are good at rehearsal discipline and attention to detail. Some relish the adrenalin and truly rise to the occasion of singing in front of 1,000 people.

"Others ooze sheer musicality in every phrase they sing. Yet when we found a choir that excelled at all three, we were won over almost immediately - as were the audiences."

Choirs have enjoyed revived interest following the success of BBC1's Last Choir Standing television show.ADNFCR-1390-ID-18886161-ADNFCR
