First up, on Saturday 12 November, is The Hallé, performing with Leeds’ top two choirs - Leeds Festival Chorus&Leeds Philharmonic Chorus joined by Sarah Fox (soprano) and Jennifer Johnston (mezzo soprano), under the baton of David Hill.  The programme features Bruckner’s Motets Ave Maria, Afferentur regi, Christus factus est, Os Justi and Ecce sacerdos magnus alongside Mahler’s Symphony No 2 (Resurrection).
