Booking info

Join us for the premiere of Voices of the Peaks, a new choral suite celebrating landscape, community and shared heritage through music. Created as a joint composition by choral conductor, composer and singer-songwriter Hannah Brine, and composer and performer Jenni Watts, the work brings together Hannah’s three northern choirs, High Peak Singers, Bollington Singers and Didsbury Singers. Together, these ensembles form a powerful collective of around 150 voices. Marking the 75th anniversary of the Peak District becoming the UK’s first National Park, Voices of the Peaks echoes the voices of those who have walked, worked and sung in this region across generations. This premiere performance offers a unique musical tribute to the Peak District, honouring its past while looking forward to its future.
