Members of Preston Cecilian Choral Society, Lytham St. Anne's Choral Society and Kirkham Grammar School Choir were joined by The Ward's Stone Orchestra, conducted by Helen Harrison, in a truly uplifting rendition of this rarely heard masterpiece. This difficult work is testament to the quality of the young singers of the Kirkham Choir, who gave their all through its many challenging moments, something for the school to be truly proud of.
