A CHOIR will perform with Russell Watson when he appears at Scarborough Spa this weekend.
The Graham Community Choir will accompany the acclaimed-tenor for a selection of songs when he performs in The Spa’s Grand Hall on Saturday as part of his latest UK tour.
The 90-plus strong choir, handpicked by Russell, has been together for more than 12 years and started life as the The Can’t Sing Choir, which was part of the evening class programme at Graham School.
From its humble beginnings, the choir has now developed into a four-part choir singing a varied mixture and popular range of music and employ an open door, no audition policy making them a genuine community choir.
Choir’s conductor Bill Scott said: “I am honoured that the choir has been chosen to perform with Russell Watson.
“The choir is a great fan of his and we will be working very hard to sing our best for him.
“The choir is particularly enjoying singing some pieces for the concert in Italian and French and the musical challenges that they present.
“I am proud of the choirs continued development and achievements especially as we have so much fun doing it.”
As well as The Graham Community Choir, Russell Watson will also be joined by The People’s Soprano Rebecca Newman.
Tickets for An Intimate Evening with Russell Watson are available from the Spa’s box office on 01723 821888 and via scarboroughspa.co.uk
