ROYAL LIVERPOOL PHILHARMONIC CHOIR

With its 165-year tradition, and reputation for versatility, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir has always been central to the life of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society. Its members are drawn from a wide range of occupations in business, medicine, education, industry and many other fields, and travel from all parts of Merseyside, and beyond, to take part in the choir's activities. Its repertoire covers all periods and styles from Bach to newly commissioned works, with full symphony orchestra and unaccompanied, and it also plays a leading role in the famous Liverpool Carol Concerts. As well as performing in many of the major concert venues in the North-West and Midlands, the choir has appeared regularly in the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall, and took part, from outside Liverpool's St George's Hall, in the live Last Night link-up to London in the 'Proms in the Park' in 2000 and 2001. It has sung with the St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Wales and the BBC Philharmonic, and has undertaken several foreign tours, both independently and with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, singing in venues throughout Spain and France, and taking part in festivals in Germany and The Netherlands. Ian Tracey has been Chorus Master since 1985 and has traveled with the choir both in Britain and abroad.
