Hillsborough Parish Church Choir - with Phillip Elliott on organ and musicians from Hunterhouse College - presented 'Music in May', a concert of choral, organ and instrumental music, in Hillsborough Parish Church last Friday evening (25th May).

The choir sang a variety of sacred and secular works, including two movements from Vivaldi's Gloria, Mendelssohn's O, for the wings of a dove, and You raise me up by Josh Groban. Members of the Junior Choir sang Any dream will do and Phillip Elliott performed three organ solos, including The Great Fantasia and Fugue in G Minor by J. S. Bach. The four instrumentalists from Hunterhouse College were Lyndsey Mullarchey (flute), Hayley Bowes (violin), Ka Man Tang (cello) and Rosamund Scott (oboe), and their pieces included Chansonette and In Ireland, both by Hamilton Harty.

After a most enjoyable evening of entertainment, refreshments were served in the Downshire Centre. Proceeds from the concert will be shared between Tearfund and the Choir Fund for the purchase of music.
