Soirée 2025
A fine, sunny evening ... tables heavy with lip-smacking savouries and succulent sweets ... bottles of whatever-you-fancy ... a choir ready to lead you through 'The Streets of London' and trip with the Von Trapps through the Austrian Alps ... a handful of singers eager to entertain their audience ... what more could anyone ask?

Imagine a serene early Summer's evening; relish the opportunity to share an informal get-together with choir and friends to celebrate the end of a challenging music year; be entertained by a programme of musical pieces offered by choir and individuals.
Savour above all a summer supper and raise a glass or two in celebration!
Such is the lip-smacking recipe for a Hanley Voices' Soirée
