AMATEUR singers are being invited to join a special ‘Come and Sing’ one-day workshop at Worcester Cathedral nave next month.
The event will held on Saturday April 4 and will be hosted by Worcester Festival Choral Society. It will give singers an opportunity to learn Worcestershire-born Sir Edward Elgar’s impressive choral work The Music Makers – and sing in one of England’s greatest cathedrals.
Around 150 amateur singers are expected to take part in the annual workshop, which will be led by Worcester Cathedral director of music Samuel Hudson, with piano accompaniment from Nicholas Freestone, the cathedral’s assistant director of music.
Ben Cooper, chairman of Worcester Festival Choral Society, said: “We have a brilliant day in store.
“As we sing through The Music Makers there’ll be plenty of musical and vocal tips from our conductor, and a chance to socialise with fellow music lovers.
“You don’t need choral experience or an amazing voice to take part, but if you’re able to read music you’ll get the most from the day.”
Registration is open from 9.30am, with singing starting at 10.15am.
After several singing sessions and breaks, the afternoon concludes with an informal performance in the cathedral nave that singers’ friends and family can attend free of charge. The day finishes at 4.30pm.
Tickets are £20 for adults and £10 for students.
