Choral Workshop

Saturday 19th September

Time 10am -4.30pm

This year’ Choral Workshop will be taken by Will Dawes.  He is Director of Music at Somerville College Oxford, and previously sang full time with Stile Antico.  He is now a freelance singer and choral director, who brought his Somerville choir to Edington to sing our 2024 Advent concert, which was one of the best yet.

We will be working on four pieces by British composers of the 19th and 20th centuries, Samuel Wesley, Harold Darke, Charles Wood and Benjamin Britten, lovely music well suited to a workshop such as ours, especially with such an experienced and talented choir director at the helm.

Chris Totney will again be our trusty repetiteur, and accompanist for our run through at the end of the day, and Will is also choosing a young soprano soloist from among his student choristers.

As always, the cost includes all the music, and tea and coffee on arrival and at mid morning.  We have some funding available to support some free places for school students; please email [email protected] for more information.

Full information will be sent out nearer the time, and booking will open at the end of June, hopefully before everyone disappears on holiday!
