HARMONIES will fill the air at a choral concert promising to provide "beautiful liturgical music" to delight listeners.
The Barcelona Tour Choir is the serving church choir of The Most Holy Redeemer Church based at 21 Laindon Road, Billericay.
The group, drawn from the town and surrounding areas, will be performing a special concert on Saturday, September 14 from 8pm at the church.
In a recent trip to Spain, 37 members of the group sang in Barcelona.
Kathy Underhill, of Perry Street, is the choir director and organist. She is also a professional pianist accompanist and piano teacher at Brentwood School.
She said: "We have singers from the age of seven, right up to those in their 80s, and lots of people in between.
"Most of the singers who travelled to Spain will be performing at this concert, which is in aid of the Handicapped Children's Pilgrimage Fund."
The charity provides pilgrimage holidays for those in need of support or help, encouraging friendship and providing a positive memory for underprivileged children.
Mrs Underhill continued: "We have sung in many exciting places, including the Vatican, Rome and the latest trip to Spain, as well as our annual performance at Westminster Cathedral.
"Our group has a lot of fun singing and we are prepared to work hard for it. We work on our vocal techniques and we have lots of different style voices and types.
"We really enjoy ourselves it is extremely good fun."
The 64-year-old who lives with her husband Roy, also 64, is a grandmother-of-three.
She added: "We have made recordings on the BBC and have quite a lively schedule.
"And we try to do as many concerts as we can for charity."
Although admission to the concert is free, the group will welcome donations from the audience for the charity.
Mrs Underhill was confident that the evening would hit all the right notes.
She added: "It will provide an hour of beautiful liturgical music, some accompanied by organ, some not."
The choir, which practices weekly on Thursdays from 8pm until 10pm at The Most Holy Redeemer Church, welcome new members.
Membership is free to the friendly singing group and there is no entrance audition to join.
Those interested in taking part should call the parish office at The Most Holy Redeemer Church on 01277 624891.
