Who are we?

Who are we?

Pendle Opera Group was founded in 1978 and is now in its 34th season. It was formed by local singers who saw a need to stage operatic works in East Lancashire, an area not well served by professional opera companies. In July 2011 we changed our name to Pendle Voices to reflect the range of music we are now performing.
Location Pendle Voices in based in East Lancashire which is in North West England. The map on the right indicates that we are approximately in the very centre of Great Britain.
Operatic Productions Our first production was Puccini's 'La Bohème' and we performed much of the standard opera repertoire. Our last production as an Opera Group was Menotti's touching Christmas tale of 'Amahl and the Night Visitors'.
Concerts Recently we have staged a series of joint concerts with other groups and titles including "Bizet to the Beatles" and "Abba to Aida". We select music which both entertains and challenges, and also those that give a measure of both principal and chorus singing.
Facilities Rehearsals take place at Brierfield Methodist Church in the Pendle area. These are normally held on Thursday evenings from September to May. We perform at at variety of venues including St. Peter's Church, Burnley, Burnley Mechanics Theatre and Brierfield Methodist Church.
