Behind the Music…Workshops & Insight Days

Workshops

Eamonn Dougan, Assistant Conductor of The Sixteen, and Sally Dunkley, a founder member of The Sixteen and the researcher and editor of the music in this year’s Pilgrimage, will once again be facilitating workshops for amateur singers. These will be held in the afternoon and will feature the opportunity to experience some of the music in the concert programme at first-hand, by singing it as well as by discussing the background to its composition.

The workshops, to be held in Blackburn, Edinburgh, London and St Albans, are aimed at singers of a good standard who are, for example, capable of holding a line on their own. Music will be sent out well in advance in order to facilitate individual preparation, you will be expected to come able to perform this on the day.

70 places are available for each workshop. Please note that in order to obtain a reasonably balanced choral group, we ask participants for some information about their voice range, and may have to limit numbers when each vocal quota is filled. Book early to avoid disappointment!


Full details will be available from early January 2008 from The Sixteen, Raine House, Raine Street,Wapping, London E1W 3RJ.
