Fright Club: Horrortorio goes to school
Thanks to the staff and pupils of St Christopher’s School in Canterbury, who welcomed the solo singers of our current Horrortorio project last Friday.

All fright on the night: Horrortorio in rehearsal

A small group of fiends, sorry, soloists will be joined by members of the Cecilian Choir for an in-the-round performance during Summer Music Week, on Monday 6 June at 5pm, complete with smoke and mirrors, as we transform the concert-hall into a ghoul-frequented wedding party.
