Mayor to attend Hailsham Choral Society Concert

The Society's next concert, entitled 'Summer Serenade' and taking a break from classical music to bring something lighter, will include favourite choruses from Gilbert & Sullivan, popular classic songs such as Ain’t Misbehavin’, Autumn Leaves and Blue Moon, and even a choral arrangement of The Teddy Bears’ Picnic.

The concert will be cinducted by Jozik Kotz and Barbara Edwards, accompanied by William Hancox on piano.

Town Mayor Councillor Paul Holbrook, delighted to be invited to attend the concert along with his wife Cllr Barbara Holbrook, said: "I've attended many of the Society's concerts to date and enjoyed every single one of them. I am very grateful to the Society, their conductors and accompanists for staging such wonderful concerts, and I look forward avidly to a superb evening of entertainment for us all on 24th June."

"I'll always remember the various performances over the years. The Society has a tradition of recruiting first-rate choristers and each and every member always put their heart and soul into the Society's event performances. The energy and vibrancy of their concerts are always inspiring - and a tribute to the dedication and hard work of its conductors, Josik Kotz and Barbara Edwards."

Tickets cost £12 for adults and £6 for under 18s. They are available from Crane & Co (Hailsham High Street), as well as via wegottickets.com and on the door.
