What’s on in the Community!
Come and sing with the LEA SINGERS!
Mozart Requiem Singing Day - Saturday 21 February 2015 10.30am - 5pm, St George's School, Harpenden
If you love choral singing, used to sing in a choir but are a bit rusty, or want to find out what it’s like to sing one of greatest works in the choral repertoire, come along. Singing days are relaxed, sociable and fun - and are as much about coffee, cake and the chance to chat to other singers as about learning great music. Our workshop will be run by Leas conductor Benjamin Goodson, who has a growing reputation as a choir trainer and will lead an enjoyable, motivating day's singing. We will spend most of the day rehearsing the Mozart Requiem, then sing it through at the end of our time together with professional soloists and piano accompaniment.
Get your booking form through George Darley at . To find out more about The Lea Singers Singing Day, see www.leasingers.co.uk
