Lancashire Choir of the Year 2024 finalists are revealed
Six talented choirs have reached the prestigious finals of Lancashire Choir of the Year 2024.
The competition aims to encourage a wide range of choirs from communities, workplaces and schools to come together to showcase their talents.
Open to people from Lancashire, Blackpool, and Blackburn with Darwen, the popular contest sees singing groups record their best performance on video, in a bid to reach the finals.
The final six, who will go through to a live final on 28 November to coincide with celebrations around Lancashire Day, are:
- Barton Road Community Choir
- Red Rosettes
- Rossendale Festival Choir
- The Basics Vocalize Choir
- The Capricorn Singers
- The Song Rooms Choir
On the night, the judging panel will announce the overall winner, as well as runner up prizes and a 'People's Choice' award.
Last year's winners, Pendle Ladies' Choir were awarded a professional recording session after giving a lilting, cheerful performance of 'The Nightingale', as well as the more melancholic 'The Snow'.
County Councillor Peter Buckley, cabinet member for Community and Cultural Services, said:
"We started the prestigious Lancashire Choir of the Year competition in 2022 as a way of finding the choirs who represent the very heart of the county.
"We were looking for something very special from across different ages and abilities with the emphasis on that wonderful community feeling seen previously in this groundbreaking competition.
"This year, we were delighted to see entries from a wide and diverse range of choirs, with our talented finalists representing a real mix of ages and areas from across their communities.
"We are very much looking forward to the finals, when we will showcase the best of what Lancashire has to offer."
