Choir set for two nights of concerts

-

Toccata Ladies Choir are hosting two Evenings of Music next month.

The events will take place on Friday May 5 and Saturday May 6 at Howden Park Centre in Livingston. The group’s annual concert series will include an exciting new programme for the audience’s entertainm­ent.

There will be favourite songs from film and musical with a sprinkling of traditiona­l and contempora­ry songs. The choir as always is skilfully directed by Eleanor Howat.

The choir has had another busy year, with workshops, singing several Christmas concerts and participat­ing in a charity fundraisin­g concert with some other local groups.

Toccata is a musical term derived from Italian meaning to touch and the choir hope to live up to its name by touching the heart of the audience. There will be something for everyone. The evening begins at 7.30pm. Tickets are £11. For more informatio­n visit http://www.toccatalad­ieschoir.co.uk/
