News from Wessex Schools Music – Thomas Hardye Singers at Sherborne Abbey

Thu 12 December 2024

Thomas Hardye Singers at Sherborne Abbey: It is testament to the wonderful singing work that has been going on across all the local schools, that the choirs at Hardyes are brimming with new faces this term. Rock & Pop choir now has around 80 members and they almost don’t fit in our music room! Thomas Hardye Singers welcomed many new faces in September and last week they had their first big performance – Evensong at Sherborne Abbey. This was the first time many of them had ever sung Evensong (for those in the know, it is not at all easy!) and they performed magnificently. To sing in such a wonderful building was a privilege and thanks go to the Abbey staff for making everyone feel so welcome. The group has been invited back for another time!
