Come and Sing! Verdi’s Requiem - one day choral workshop

Amateur singers of all kinds are invited to 'Come and Sing' Verdi's Requiem in a one day choral workshop hosted by Worcester Festival Choral Society. You will have the chance to learn (or brush up on) the choral sections of this spine-tingling work and to gain fascinating musical insights and singing tips from Worcester Cathedral's director of music, Samuel Hudson.

More than a hundred like-minded singers from across the UK are expected to attend the workshop, which will be held at St Andrew's Methodist Church in Worcester.

You don't need choral experience to take part, but some ability to read music is useful to get the most from the day. There will be plenty of refreshment breaks to relax and socialise. Plus, as always, there'll be an array of homemade cakes and pre-orderable hot lunches to tempt the tastebuds.

Doors open for registration from 9.30am, with singing sessions starting from 10.15am. In the afternoon there will be an informal performance of what has been learned, which participants' family and friends can attend free of charge. The day will then finish by 4.45pm.

Tickets include score hire and free teas/coffees throughout the day.
