Making Music is offering its members the chance to win a luxury trip to Yorkshire, the setting for the new movie 'The Choral' (in cinemas 7 November).
Synopsis: Set in 1916, 'The Choral' tells the story of the Choral Society in Ramsden, Yorkshire, who has lost most of its men to the army, as the war rages on the Western Front. The Choral’s ambitious committee, determined to press ahead, decides to recruit local young males to swell their ranks. They must also engage a new chorus master, and despite their suspicions that he has something to hide, their best bet seems to be Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes) – driven, uncompromising, and recently returned from a career in Germany. As conscription papers start to arrive, the whole community discovers that the best response to the chaos that is laying waste to their lives is to make music together.
Directed by BAFTA, Olivier and Tony Award winner Nicholas Hytner ('The Crucible') and written by BAFTA, Olivier and Tony Award winner Alan Bennett, 'The Choral' marks their fourth writer-director collaboration following the acclaimed films 'The Madness of King George', 'The History Boys', and 'The Lady in The Van'. Produced by Kevin Loader, Nicholas Hytner and Damian Jones, it features a brilliant cast including Ralph Fiennes, Roger Allam, Mark Addy, Alun Armstrong, Robert Emms and Simon Russell Beale.
