The Hepton Singers is a small chamber choir located in the heart of the Pennines in northern England regularly performing varied programmes of mainly a capella music from the 16th Century to the present day in concert venues in and around Halifax, Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. The 30-strong choir also tours nationally and internationally, usually through exchanges with similar ensembles. |
The Hepton Singers is directed by Roger Scaife and Alison West. The choir has a strong local following and performs about six times a year wih the principal concert each year in Heptonstall Parish Church in late June or early July as part of Hebden Bridge Arts Festival.
The Hepton Singers produced its first CD in October 2001 to record the choir's commission of a new work by Paul Robinson and celebrate a visit to Aachen as part of a cultural exchange with Burtscheider Kammerchor.
In the summer of 2006 we welcomed two choirs from Budapest, who spent ten days in Calderdale, performing as part of Hebden Bridge Arts Festival and also runnning workshops in the area.The Hungarian choirs' visit was been generously supported by the Community Foundation for Calderdale
