Sing with Strings presents ‘Beware the Mackerel Sky’ a smugglers’ folk opera for massed choir and orchestra hosted by the Bernardi Music Group in association with the Yehudi Menuhin School and Lancing College

A community folk opera set in Lancing and performed in the glorious Lancing College Chapel – the world’s largest school chapel. Bringing together school choirs, community choirs, large string orchestra and professional opera singers, this musical spectacular will feature over 400 performers including the Lancing College Chapel Choir and College Singers, the Yehudi Menuhin School, String Academy and choirs from Sussex schools. Presenting a dramatic tale of smugglers and spies, conflict, mystery, heartache and kindness, this one-act folk opera brings to life the rich smuggling heritage of an early 19th century Sussex community in Shoreham and Lancing, weaving real-life characters and events with fiction
