Neil has been our Director of Music since 2006. We have had so very many memorable performances with him that it is becoming difficult to choose our favourites! He is a wonderful interpreter of choral music, making the music engaging and fresh for both the choir and our audiences. You can experience the enjoyment and exhilaration of making music with Neil for yourself by coming to our singing day each January. It will be a sell-out (it always is!) so click on the Singing Day link and apply now. |

Janáček Glagolitic Mass Poulenc Gloria Conductors: Neil Taylor (Huddersfield concert) and Ben Ellin (Manchester Concert) Slaithwaite PhilharmonicOrchestra Following the tremendous success of our collaboration with Slaithwaite Philharmonic in Belshazzar’s Feast, we are delighted to join them again in two performances of the equally thrilling Glagolitic Mass by Janáček, regarded as one of the most remarkable and important choral works of the 20th century. We team this with Poulenc’s famous Gloria, an enthralling mixture of solemnity and exuberance.
