Among the attractions on the night will be a new work "Bennachie" which has been specially commissioned for the event by Dr John Hearne who was the first Musical Director of the society.

Over the years the company has challenged its members with many difficult works by modern composers as well as a whole ranged of acknowledged classics. The first concert was held at Inverurie Academy and was centred on music from South America and the guest soloist was Aberdeenshire's own Gillian Taylor. Gillian Jack, as she now is, remains a great favourite in the North east performing opera at places such as Haddo. She will be taking the soprano role in John Rutter's "Magnificat".

The Society has made a point of supporting and taking part in the yearly Aberdeenshire Singing Festivals, earlier this year at the Stonehaven event the Choral society sang an African Chorus "Hamba Lulu" with the massed choirs to considerable acclaim.

The Society has sung at venues as varied as Castle Fraser, Marischal College and the Inverurie Garden Centre as well as many churches and centres in and around Inverurie, the Christmas concerts have been particularly popular, and well known music reviewer Alan Cooper reported that the Choir "strikes gold in chapel" following the performance at Chapel of Garioch in 2000.

Over the years there have been many highlights, such as performing Karl Jenkins "The Armed Man" in 2007 and sharing the stage with the young singers from the Karlsberg Music Gymnasium from Sweden the previous year.

Scottish music has not been ignored and Burns and others have been well represented over the decade in the repertoire of the Choral Society.

Current Musical Director Moira Hunter is excited at the forthcoming concert and the venue saying: "I feel that Inverurie Choral Society has made its mark on the musical map of the North east and I am certain the choir will provide a fantastic musical treat for Inverurie folk."

There will be a pre-concert talk by Dr Hearne between 6.30 and 7pm on the night and the performance will begin at 7.30pm, with those attending having the opportunity to hear many of the favourites of the past ten years.

Tickets are available from choir members and at the door on the night or by calling (01467) 620040 or e-mailing tickets@inveruriechoral.org.uk.
