Sheet Music at Forsyths

Following the fantastic success of previous events, The Hallé have announced details of this year’s extravaganza. On October 9 2010, the two featured works will be Carl Orff’s ever popular blockbuster “Carmina Burana” and Hubert Parry’s beautiful ” Blest Pair of Sirens“. All are invited to attend and to be rehearsed all day by Sir Mark Elder CBE and Mr Greg Batsleer before being one of a thousand-plus voices to give an evening performance of the work with The Hallé orchestra themselves.

Forsyth is proud to be invited to continue its 153 year association with The Hallé by offering the necessary music (and supporting recordings) for sale to participants at substantial discount.
