Inspired by a similar series of ‘Come & Sing’ events held during August in New York City, these sessions aim to offer singers something to keep their voices ‘in trim’ whilst their regular choirs take a summer break. Rather than focus on more ‘traditional’ ‘Come and Sing’ repertoire – singers can find a Mozart/Faure Requiem or ‘Messiah’ to sing most weekends – the aim is to offer something a little different, rather uniquely, with the help of three major composers, and to offer, I hope, some choral stimulation and enlightenment!
None of the music offered is very difficult and many of the older pieces will be familiar to experienced choristers, so any enthusiastic singers are welcome. However, those with at least some confidence when it comes to reading music, will clearly benefit the most.
‘Summer Sings’ will be held at the beautifully re-furbished St John’s Waterloo, which has excellent facilities, an even better acoustic and good transport links. All music will be provided but singers must bring their own refreshments.
Cost: £20.00 per session: £50.00 for all three sessions – places must be booked in advance (I do of course need to keep an eye on the balance of voices and numbers).
Each evening features the work of a living composer – all will be present
