There's still time to register to take part in the choir's 'Come and Sing' event this Saturday

Wellingborough’s Orpheus Choir is continuing to celebrate its platinum jubilee year with a 'Come and Sing' event at Wellingborough's United Reformed Church this Saturday (June 10).

They would welcome more singers, particularly tenors and basses, to join them in rehearsing and performing some coronation anthems including Handel's 'Zadok the priest' and Parry's 'I was Glad', both performed at the recent coronation in Westminster Abbey.
