About Skipton Music Presents: Fretwork & Helen Charlston - Skipton Town Hall
Helen Charlston is a British mezzo-soprano celebrated across opera, oratorio and song.

We will be continuing our monthly Listening Club this season where we meet (mostly online) before each concert and chat about a piece of music from the forthcoming gig - a bit like a book club. Last year in five of the six Listening Clubs the performers joined as well to chat with us and provide their personal perspective.
If you're interested in joining the Listening Club, please click here or send an email toskiptonmusic2@gmail.com
