ABOUT THE DAY

Our choral workshop day will be under the expert baton of Worcester Cathedral's renowned Director of Music, SAMUEL HUDSON, with piano accompaniment from Worcester Cathedral's outstanding Assistant Director of Music.

As well as the singing sessions, you’ll enjoy vocal tips, musical insights and take part in an informal performance – all in the company of around 130 other musically minded people from around the country. In the afternoon there will be an informal performance with soloist(s), which participants' guests can attend free of charge. 

You don't need choral experience to take part, but an ability to read music is useful.

There will be plenty of refreshment breaks to relax and socialise. Plus, as always, you can choose from our pre-orderable hot and cold lunches. There will also be our legendary array of homemade cakes to tempt the tastebuds, and a raffle to enjoy (bring your small change!)

Doors open for registration from 9.30am, with singing sessions starting from 10:15am. The day will then finish by 4.45pm. 

ENTRY BY PRE-BOOKED TICKET ONLY. Tickets £24 (adults) and £12 (students), which includes score loan and free teas/coffees throughout the day.

Q&As
Do I need choral experience?
No, singers don't need choral experience or a beautiful voice to take part! However, if the works are new to you, an ability to read music will be useful. If you're already familiar with the music, just come and enjoy the sing.
