Add to my Calendar 23-04-2022 09:30 23-04-2022 11:30 36 Come & Sing 1-day choral workshop Amateur singers of all kinds can learn not one, but two, much-loved choral works at a special ‘Come & Sing’ one-day workshop in Worcester on Saturday 23 April 2022.  The event, hosted by Worcester Festival Choral Society, will give singers the chance to learn or reprise both Antonio Vivaldi's famously joyful Baroque masterwork, Gloria, and John Rutter's thrilling, more recent Gloria.  Around 150 amateur singers from across the country are expected to take part in the annual workshop, which is being held in the convivial surroundings of St Andrew’s Methodist Church, Pump Street just off Worcester High Street. As well as singing sessions, the day will include insights into each work, vocal tips, an informal performance and a chance to socialise with other musically minded people. The workshop will be led by Worcester Cathedral’s former assistant director of music and WFCS conductor, Christopher Allsop, with piano accompaniment from WFCS accompanist Nicholas Freestone, who is the Cathedral’s current assistant director of music. Registration will open from 9:30am on the day, with singing sessions starting at 10:15am and concluding at 4.30pm. You don’t need choral experience or a great voice to take part, just a love of singing. If you can read music a little, you’ll be able to get the most from the day.  Come & Sing tickets are £20 (adults) and £10 (full time students), including a vocal score for the day and free tea/coffee. For lunch, singers can either pre-order a delicious packed lunch with their ticket, or visit one of Worcester’s many nearby cafés.
