Saturday, 9th November 2019 7.30 pm £10.00 / £5.00 concessions

The performance on Saturday evening will contain a performance by the Feral Choir. It will be led by Phil Minton, a vocalist acclaimed all over the world. As well as pursuing his own performing career he has a wealth of experience as a choral director, leading others to find new areas of expression.
