We’re delighted to share that the Music House Gospel Choir were invited to perform at the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) staff celebration at Wakefield Exchange on the morning of Wednesday 12 November.
The invitation came personally from the office of Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire, and it was an honour for our choir to kick off the day on stage from 9.30am, performing for around 30 minutes as over 450 staff members gathered to celebrate.
Under the expert direction of Leroy Johnson, with creative support from our brilliant Creative Director, Christella Listras, the choir delivered uplifting renditions including Shackles and Emmanuel. Their energy and harmonies set the perfect tone for the morning — and judging by the photos, even Mayor Tracy was dancing along and fully in the moment!
A special highlight of the performance was Zak, one of our very own local talents and a Channel 4 The Piano finalist. Having supported Zak on his musical journey, we were so proud to see him mesmerise the audience with his incredible piano playing. His performance perfectly complemented the choir and was a shining example of local talent nurtured and celebrated.
In total, 24 choir members generously gave up their time to be part of the event, and as always, they were absolutely fantastic.
We’re so proud of our Gospel Choir for representing Music House so brilliantly and for helping showcase the remarkable talent we’re lucky to support in our community.
