AMATEUR tenor singers from across the region are being invited to join one of the County’s most prestigious classical choirs from September. Worcester Festival Choral Society, which was founded in 1861 and was often conducted by Sir Edward Elgar in its early days, currently has vacancies for additional tenors to join its highly regarded, 140-strong chorus as it embarks on its 2025-26 concert season. “If you sing tenor and think you might enjoy learning and performing the ‘classical choral greats’ with us in the magnificent setting of Worcester Cathedral, we’d love to hear from you,” said chairman Susan White. This season, Worcester Festival Choral Society is performing Duruflé’s Requiem on Saturday November 22, Handel’s Messiah by candlelight on December 6, and Mendelssohn’s Elijah on March 21. The first rehearsal of term is Monday September 8 from 7.30 until 9.30pm at St Andrew’s Methodist Church, Worcester
