A Very Special Concert

South Devon Choir, conducted by John Hobbs with the Festival Orchestra and professional soloists, Lorna Anderson soprano, Rebecca Smith mezzo soprano, Arthur Swan tenor and Tim Mirfin bass, sing one of George Frederic Handel’s greatest but lesser well known oratorios, Judas Maccabaeus.

This concert will be the last to be conducted by John Hobbs as Musical Director of South Devon Choir.  John is to retire as Musical Director of the Choir but we are very pleased that he will become our President. 

The concert will be followed by a reception with light refreshments in his honour to be held in the Parish Hall. Everyone is very welcome.
