Kidderminster Choral Society, which was founded in 1899, will host the concert on Saturday, November 30, at St Mary and All Saints' Church at 7.30pm.
The concert will feature Andrew Kennedy, an internationally acclaimed tenor soloist, including winning the Rosenblatt Recital Prize at the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition.

The evening will be conducted by Geoff Weaver, the group's musical director for the past 37 years.
Under his direction, the choir will perform works by English composers from the last 125 years, including pieces by one of Worcestershire's favourite sons Sir Edward Elgar, Benjamin Britten, and Bob Chilcott.
Elgar has a historical connection with the choir as a past president.
The Elgar Sinfonia will provide the orchestral accompaniment for the evening, blending with the choral and solo performances.
Singers from the society’s youth choir, Wyre Forest Young Voices, will also take to the stage.
The landmark concert celebrates the society's ongoing dedication and contribution to the cultural landscape of Kidderminster.
Tickets for the event are available for purchase on its website: www.kidderminsterchoralsociety.co.uk.
