Leslie Robinson, Publicity Officer for the William Byrd Singers, tells us the William Bryds Singers successfully ran a rewards-based crowdfunding campaign for their Christmas concert.
Background
The William Byrd Singers are a Manchester-based chamber choir of 35 auditioned members, founded in 1950. Though we are an amateur choir in name, our musical standards are professional: we are directed by esteemed conductor Keith Orrell, and many of our members are music teachers, performers, or involved in the arts professionally.
