We have one special extra item this year - a performance of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus as part of the BBC's 'Sing Hallelujah' project and to raise money for Children in Need. Sing Hallelujah is a nationwide project encouraging people across the UK to find their voices and discover the joy of singing. The BBC want to get thousands of people singing Handel's famous Hallelujah Chorus as part of a nationwide celebration of one of the most popular choral pieces in the world... and you can be part of it!!!
