Choirs go head-to-head in a fierce battle that’ll be music to your ears
Get set for the X Factor of the choral world on 8 May when the Choir of the Year competition hits Cambridge. Choirs from across the region will battle it out during morning and afternoon auditions, and you can be in the crowd at the Corn Exchange to enjoy the sweet sounds of their attempts to win the judges over.
It’s the biggest contest of its kind in the UK, in which singers of all ages take to the stage to impress a panel of experts. For the audience, there’s something for all tastes, from classical to contemporary, as well as a big sing at the end which everyone can join in with.
More than 170 choirs from around the country will be taking part this year – to follow the competition, visit www.choiroftheyear.com.
The Cambridge auditions take place at 9.30am and 2.30pm. Tickets are £12.
