Tenor Andrew Mackenzie-Wicks has sung with the Derbyshire Singers on many occasions, as well as fitting in the odd engagement with Glyndebourne, English National Opera, Scottish Opera, Opera North (to name but a few) and singing across the globe (including Britten’s War Requiem in Germany and Russia).

Andrew will be entertaining listeners with a range of operatic and stage musical gems by Puccini, Gounod, Bernstein and Sullivan.

The award-winning Thoresby Band competed as Midlands Area champions in the National Championships at the Albert Hall in 2016; they are always a hit at The Derbyshire Singers’ Christmas Cracker.

Piano accompaniment will once again be provided by the effervescent Eleanor Kornas, making a swift return after her stunning performance of the Grieg Piano Concerto.
